Williams Comfort Products JHWH-1254 Shallow Socket 1/2 in Drive

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWH-1254 is a shallow-profile, SAE-standard hand socket designed for professional use in tight-clearance fastening applications. Built on a 1/2 inch drive, this socket measures 1 11/16 inch across the fastener opening and carries an overall length of 2.75 inches. The shallow design reduces reach depth compared to standard-length sockets, making it well suited for recessed or obstructed bolt heads where a deep socket will not fit. Lobular-profile drive openings deliver high torque transfer to the fastener without rounding corners, a feature particularly useful when breaking loose corroded or overtightened hardware.

This socket is used across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service work wherever a 1/2 inch drive tool is the standard. The SAE sizing makes it appropriate for domestic equipment and fasteners measured in fractional inch dimensions. The shallow profile is commonly chosen when working in engine compartments, panel boxes, equipment frames, and mechanical rooms where socket depth must be minimized to achieve proper engagement.

Key Features

• Shallow overall length of 2.75 inches for use in tight or obstructed spaces
• 1/2 inch square drive compatible with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches
• 1 11/16 inch SAE fastener opening sized for fractional-inch hardware

• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2 inch drive SAE shallow socket compatible with 6-point and 12-point fasteners measuring 1 11/16 inch across flats. Fits any 1/2 inch drive ratchet, extension, or breaker bar.

Installation Notes

This socket is a hand tool requiring no power-down procedure, but always de-energize or isolate equipment before loosening or tightening fasteners on live mechanical or electrical systems. Confirm the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage and fastener damage. Inspect the drive square and socket body for cracks or wear before each use. Technicians should follow all applicable workplace safety standards when working with hand tools in trade environments.
