Williams Comfort Products JHWH-1246 Shallow Socket 1/2 in Drive

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWH-1246 is a shallow SAE socket designed for professional fastener work in trade and industrial environments. Built with a 1/2 inch drive and sized at 1 7/16 inch, it features a 2 3/8 inch overall length that keeps the profile short for use in confined spaces. The lobular opening geometry increases turning power while reducing the risk of rounding fastener heads. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general trade professionals will find this socket a practical tool for equipment installation and service work.

This socket is suited for both residential and commercial applications where 6-point and 12-point fasteners are encountered. The shallow profile makes it a go-to choice when depth clearance is limited, such as mounting panel hardware, equipment fasteners, or structural connections in tight enclosures. It is sold individually and is appropriate for use with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets and extensions.

Key Features

• Shallow profile at 2 3/8 inch overall length for use in low-clearance fastener locations
• 1/2 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets and drive extensions
• 1 7/16 inch SAE size for common trade fastener applications
• Lobular opening geometry increases torque transfer and reduces fastener deformation
• Designed for quick engagement on both 6-point and 12-point fasteners

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement socket compatible with standard 1/2 inch drive tool systems requiring a 1 7/16 inch SAE shallow socket.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by licensed tradespeople and journeymen using standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets or impact wrenches. Always confirm the fastener size before applying torque to avoid fastener damage. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when working in energized or pressurized systems and de-energize or shut off relevant systems before beginning fastener work.
