Williams Comfort Products JHWM-1216 Shallow Socket

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWM-1216 is a shallow SAE socket designed for 1/4 inch drive ratchets and torque tools. It fits a 1/2 inch fastener and measures 7/8 inch overall length, making it well suited for tight-clearance work where a standard-depth socket will not fit. The lobular internal opening geometry — branded as SUPERTORQUE — contacts fastener flats rather than corners, reducing the risk of rounding during removal. This socket is sold as an individual piece and is the right choice for techs who need a reliable, low-profile driver for confined spaces.

This socket is used across trade applications wherever 1/4 inch drive tools are standard — HVAC service, refrigeration equipment, electrical panel work, and plumbing fixture installations. The shallow profile makes it practical for fasteners that are recessed into a housing or surrounded by adjacent components that block a deep socket. It works with both 6-point and 12-point fasteners, giving the installer flexibility when fastener condition or access angle is a factor.

Key Features

• Shallow profile accommodates tight-clearance and recessed-fastener applications
• SUPERTORQUE lobular opening engages fastener flats to reduce rounding and deformation
• Compatible with both 6-point and 12-point fasteners for versatile use
• 1/4 inch drive fits standard compact ratchets and torque screwdrivers common in trade kits
• SAE sizing — 1/2 inch — for standard fasteners found on HVAC equipment, fixtures, and panels

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style shallow SAE socket for use with 1/4 inch drive ratchets and hand tools requiring a 1/2 inch socket.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by a qualified trade professional using a properly rated 1/4 inch drive ratchet or torque tool. Verify fastener size before applying torque to avoid socket slippage or fastener damage. Do not use impact drivers with this socket unless the socket is rated for impact use. De-energize or shut off any system before servicing fasteners on electrical enclosures or pressurized components.
