Williams Comfort Products JHWH-1256 Shallow Socket 1/2 in Drive

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWH-1256 is a shallow SAE socket designed for high-torque fastener work in tight spaces. Built on a 1/2 inch drive, it measures 2.75 inches overall length and fits a 1 3/4 inch fastener size. The lobular internal geometry, marketed as SUPERTORQUE, distributes load across the fastener faces rather than the corners, reducing fastener rounding under heavy torque. This socket is suited for mechanics, industrial maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who need reliable engagement on both standard and worn hex fasteners in space-constrained applications.

This socket is applicable in automotive, mechanical, and general industrial maintenance scenarios where a shallow-profile 1/2 inch drive tool is required. The shallow depth makes it well suited for fasteners in recessed bores or assemblies where a deep socket would contact surrounding hardware. It works with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches. The SAE sizing targets fastener applications common in North American equipment and vehicles.

Key Features

• SUPERTORQUE lobular openings distribute torque load across fastener flats, reducing corner deformation
• Compatible with both 6-point and 12-point fasteners for versatile engagement
• Shallow profile allows access in confined or recessed fastener locations
• 1/2 inch drive fits standard ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches
• SAE sizing of 1 3/4 inch suits common North American fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit shallow SAE socket for use with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets and drive tools. Compatible with both 6-point and 12-point fastener heads.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners should be performed by a qualified mechanic or maintenance technician familiar with proper torque procedures. Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use. Follow applicable equipment service manuals and safety standards when servicing machinery.
