Williams Comfort Products JHWH-1248 Shallow Socket 1/2 in Drive

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWH-1248 is a shallow SAE socket designed for use with a 1/2 inch drive. It measures 2.5 inches in overall length and fits a 1-1/2 inch fastener. The socket features SUPERTORQUE lobular openings, which apply turning force to the flat sides of a fastener rather than its corners. This reduces the risk of rounding off hex heads under high torque. The JHWH-1248 is a hand-tool component suited for mechanical, industrial, and trade applications where a low-profile socket is needed to access fasteners in tight or shallow clearance situations.

This socket is intended for professional use in applications requiring a shallow-profile 1/2 inch drive SAE socket. The 1-1/2 inch size is commonly encountered in HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, structural fasteners, and general mechanical assemblies. Its compatibility with both 6-point and 12-point fasteners makes it a versatile addition to a service technician's drive set. The lobular drive geometry is especially useful when working with worn or slightly damaged fasteners in the field.

Key Features

• SUPERTORQUE lobular openings transfer force to fastener flats, reducing corner deformation
• Shallow profile for use in low-clearance fastener locations
• Compatible with both 6-point and 12-point fasteners for quick engagement
• 1/2 inch drive for use with standard 1/2 inch ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches
• SAE sizing — fits 1-1/2 inch fasteners

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or professional-grade addition for 1/2 inch drive SAE shallow socket sets used across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial service applications.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a compatible 1/2 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slippage. Disconnect power or shut off any relevant systems before servicing fastened components on live equipment. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use in high-torque applications.
