Williams Comfort Products JHWH-1264 Shallow Socket 1/2 in Drive

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWH-1264 is a shallow SAE socket designed for use with a 1/2 inch drive. It measures 3.125 inches in overall length and fits 2 inch fasteners. The socket features lobular-profile drive openings that apply torque to the flat sides of a fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under load. It engages both 6-point and 12-point fasteners, making it a versatile hand tool for service bays, mechanical shops, and field maintenance work. Mechanics and maintenance technicians reach for this socket when clearance is limited and a standard-depth socket would not seat properly.

This shallow socket is suited for general mechanical and industrial applications where fastener access is tight and a low-profile socket is required. The 1/2 inch square drive is the standard for mid-range torque work on larger fasteners, suspension components, heavy equipment, and structural hardware. Its SAE sizing makes it appropriate for domestic vehicle service and any application calling for 2 inch fastener coverage.

Key Features

• Lobular opening design applies torque to fastener flats, not corners, reducing deformation under load
• Compatible with both 6-point and 12-point fasteners for broad fastener engagement
• Shallow profile suited for tight-clearance installations where depth is restricted
• 1/2 inch square drive fits standard mid-torque ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches
• SAE sizing: 2 inch fastener drive size

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement shallow socket for use with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches accepting SAE socket accessories.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by mechanics, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working on mechanical assemblies. Ensure the drive tang is fully seated in the socket before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use, and never use a damaged socket under load. Follow applicable shop safety practices and torque specifications provided by the equipment manufacturer.
