Williams Comfort Products JHWSB-526 Penta Socket Sae

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWSB-526 is a 5-point penta socket designed to service the tamper-resistant 5-point nuts found on Buffalo-style protective covers used by gas, electric, and water utilities to secure shutoff gates. Built to SAE dimensions with a 1/2 inch drive, the socket measures 1-1/4 inches overall length and fits a 51/64 inch fastener size. This is a specialty tool kept on the truck by utility contractors, service technicians, and field crews who regularly encounter tamper-resistant utility hardware in the field.

This socket is primarily used in utility service and maintenance scenarios where access to gas shutoff gates, electric meter enclosures, or water service valves is controlled by 5-point penta fasteners. It is suited for residential and commercial service work where utility companies have installed tamper-resistant Buffalo covers to restrict unauthorized access to shutoff points. The JHWSB-526 provides a direct drive solution using a standard 1/2 inch drive ratchet or breaker bar.
