Williams Comfort Products JHWM-1218 Shallow Socket 9/16 in

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWM-1218 is a shallow-depth SAE socket designed for use with a 1/4 inch drive ratchet or extension. It fits 9/16 inch fasteners and has an overall length of 29/32 inch, making it well suited for confined spaces where a standard-depth socket would not clear surrounding hardware. The lobular internal opening geometry distributes torque across the flat faces of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under load. This socket is sold individually and is appropriate for use by any trade professional who works with hand tools in tight quarters.

This socket is used wherever a 9/16 inch SAE fastener must be driven or removed in a shallow clearance environment. Typical applications include equipment panels, mounting brackets, and mechanical assemblies found in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service work. The 1/4 inch drive size is common in light-duty and precision fastener applications where torque requirements are moderate and access is restricted.

Key Features

• Lobular opening design increases turning power while protecting fastener flats from deformation
• Compatible with both 6-point and 12-point fasteners for broad application coverage
• Shallow profile at 29/32 inch overall length suits low-clearance fastener access
• 1/4 inch drive interface fits standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
• SAE sizing at 9/16 inch for use with standard inch-measurement fasteners

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4 inch drive shallow SAE socket for use with 9/16 inch fasteners across general mechanical and trade service applications.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by hand tool technicians across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades. Ensure the drive detent fully seats the socket onto the ratchet or extension before applying torque to prevent slippage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use, particularly in high-cycle service environments. No power tools are required for 1/4 inch drive applications unless a compatible drive adapter is used.
