Williams Comfort Products JHWH-1266 Shallow Socket 1/2 in Drive

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWH-1266 is a shallow-profile hand socket designed for fastener removal and installation in confined spaces where a standard-depth socket will not fit. Built to SAE sizing, it accepts a 1/2 inch square drive and features lobular internal openings engineered to apply torque to the flat sides of a fastener rather than its corners. This reduces fastener rounding under high load. The socket measures 3.125 inches in overall length and suits professional use in automotive, industrial, and heavy-equipment service environments. It is sold as an individual unit and is appropriate for use by mechanics, millwrights, and maintenance technicians.

This shallow socket is suited for applications where clearance is limited and a standard or deep socket would contact surrounding components. The lobular drive geometry allows quick engagement on both 6-point and 12-point fasteners without requiring precise alignment before applying torque. Typical use cases include suspension work, engine accessory fastening, frame hardware, and general industrial assembly where SAE fasteners are present and drive access is restricted to short-reach tooling.

Key Features

• Lobular internal openings transfer torque to fastener flats, reducing corner deformation under load
• Shallow profile fits tight clearance situations where standard-depth sockets cannot seat
• Compatible with both 6-point and 12-point fasteners for quick engagement
• 1/2 inch square drive accepts standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches
• SAE sizing for use with inch-dimensioned fasteners
• Sold individually, one socket per unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit hand tool for use with standard 1/2 inch drive SAE socket sets and compatible drive accessories.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by a mechanic or maintenance technician using a 1/2 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench. Before use, ensure the fastener drive size matches the socket opening to prevent slippage. Disconnect power or relieve system pressure as required by the application before servicing any fastener on live equipment. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and do not use damaged sockets under load.
