Williams Comfort Products JHWH-1272 Shallow Socket

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWH-1272 is a shallow-profile SAE socket designed for fastener removal and installation in tight clearance applications. Built on a 1/2 inch drive, it features lobular internal openings that increase turning force on the fastener head while reducing the risk of rounding or deforming it. The overall length is 3 3/8 inches, and the socket opening measures 2 1/4 inches. The shallow profile makes it the right choice when a standard-depth socket would contact surrounding components or hardware. Trades that work with large-diameter fasteners in confined spaces will find this geometry practical for routine service work.

This socket is suited for mechanical and maintenance applications where a 1/2 inch drive ratchet or impact tool is used with SAE-standard fasteners. The shallow depth is particularly useful in automotive, industrial, and equipment maintenance contexts where fastener access is limited by adjacent surfaces, flanges, or housings. It engages cleanly on both 6-point and 12-point fastener heads, making it versatile across common hardware configurations.

Key Features

• Lobular internal openings distribute torque load across fastener flats, reducing deformation risk
• Engages both 6-point and 12-point fasteners for broad compatibility
• Shallow profile suited for low-clearance fastener access
• 1/2 inch drive fits standard ratchets, breaker bars, and impact wrenches
• SAE sizing at 2 1/4 inches for common large-diameter fasteners

Compatibility

Designed as a shallow SAE socket for use with 1/2 inch drive tools, compatible with 6-point and 12-point fastener heads measuring 2 1/4 inches across flats.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by hand tool or power tool professionals working with 1/2 inch drive equipment. Verify the fastener size matches the 2 1/4 inch SAE opening before applying torque. When using with an impact wrench, confirm the socket is rated for impact use and is fully seated before driving. Always de-energize or depressurize the system being serviced before breaking fasteners loose.
