Williams Comfort Products JHWHM-1246 Metric Shallow Socket

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWHM-1246 is a metric shallow socket designed for professional-grade fastener work in mechanical, industrial, and trade service applications. Built for a 3/4 inch drive, this socket fits 46 MM fasteners and features an overall length of 3.125 inches. The lobular opening geometry is engineered to apply turning force to the flat sides of a fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high torque. Mechanics, millwrights, and heavy equipment technicians are the primary users of this tool.

This shallow socket is suited for applications where a low-profile tool is needed due to limited clearance around the fastener head. The 46 MM size and 3/4 inch drive make it appropriate for large-fastener work common in industrial maintenance, heavy machinery, commercial HVAC equipment assembly, and structural mechanical work. The design engages both 6-point and 12-point fasteners, giving technicians flexibility across a wider range of hardware types on the job.

Key Features

• Lobular openings transfer torque to fastener flats, reducing corner deformation under load
• Designed for quick engagement on both 6-point and 12-point fasteners
• Shallow profile allows use in confined or low-clearance fastener locations
• 3/4 inch drive fits standard heavy-duty ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches
• 46 MM metric sizing covers large-fastener applications in industrial and mechanical service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement shallow socket for use with standard 3/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches requiring a 46 MM metric socket.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by qualified mechanics and trade technicians using standard 3/4 inch drive hand tools. Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully seated before applying torque to avoid slippage or tool failure. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and do not use impact drivers unless the socket is rated for impact service. Always verify fastener size before applying force to avoid rounding the fastener head.
