Williams Comfort Products JHWST-1212 Shallow Socket

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWST-1212 is a shallow SAE socket designed for fastener removal and installation in confined spaces where standard-depth sockets will not fit. Built on a 1/2 inch drive, this socket accepts 3/8 inch fasteners and features a lobular internal opening geometry that maximizes torque transfer while reducing the risk of rounding or deforming fastener heads. The overall assembled length measures 1.5 inches, keeping the profile low for tight-clearance work. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general trades use shallow sockets like this when working around panels, equipment housings, and mechanical assemblies where depth is restricted.

This socket is suited for professional service work across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and light mechanical applications. Its SAE sizing makes it a standard addition to any 1/2 inch drive socket set used in residential and commercial service environments. The shallow profile is particularly useful when accessing fasteners on equipment enclosures, access panels, and mounting hardware where a deep socket would contact surrounding components before fully seating.

Key Features

• Lobular opening geometry increases turning power without deforming 6-point or 12-point fasteners
• Designed for quick engagement on both 6 and 12 point fasteners
• Shallow profile at 1.5 inches overall length for tight-clearance access
• 1/2 inch drive compatible with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets and extensions
• SAE sizing in 3/8 inch for common fastener sizes in trade applications

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Licensed tradespeople handling mechanical fasteners should ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slippage. Power down or de-energize equipment before accessing fasteners on electrical panels or HVAC equipment enclosures. Use with a properly rated 1/2 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench appropriate for the fastener application.
