Williams Comfort Products JHWH-1276 Shallow Socket 1/2 in Drive

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWH-1276 is a shallow-profile SAE socket designed for professional-grade fastener work. Built with a 1/2 inch drive and a 3 5/8 inch overall length, it fits into tight spaces where standard-depth sockets cannot reach. The socket features SUPERTORQUE lobular openings that apply rotational force to the flat sides of a fastener rather than the corners, reducing fastener deformation under high torque. Licensed tradespeople, maintenance technicians, and service professionals working in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical systems rely on this type of tool for equipment assembly and field repairs.

This socket is suited for residential and light commercial service work where compact tool clearance is a priority. The shallow depth makes it effective in recessed bolt applications and panel assemblies. It is compatible with both 6-point and 12-point fasteners, making it versatile across a wide range of fastener head styles encountered in the field. Sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• SUPERTORQUE lobular openings reduce corner contact and limit fastener deformation under load
• Shallow profile allows access in confined or recessed fastener locations
• Compatible with both 6-point and 12-point fasteners for broad field use
• 1/2 inch drive fits standard ratchets and breaker bars common in trade toolsets
• SAE sizing for use on imperial fastener standards

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Always de-energize or shut off the equipment being serviced before using hand tools on fasteners. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener head before applying torque to avoid rounding. Use with a calibrated torque wrench when fastener torque specifications are required by equipment service documentation. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use.
