Williams Comfort Products JHWST-1216 Shallow Socket 1/2 Dr

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWST-1216 is a shallow SAE socket designed for use with a 1/2 inch drive. It features a lobular internal opening geometry that increases turning force on fasteners while reducing the risk of rounding or deforming the contact points. The overall length is 1.5 inches, making it well suited for fastener locations where a standard-depth socket would not clear surrounding components. The socket is compatible with both 6-point and 12-point fasteners, giving technicians flexibility across a wide range of hardware types encountered in trade service work.

This socket is intended for professional use in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service applications. The shallow profile is particularly useful when working in confined spaces, such as equipment panels, motor mounts, and access ports where clearance is limited. It is sold individually and is a direct fit for standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches commonly found in trade tool sets.

Key Features

• Lobular opening geometry increases torque transfer and reduces fastener deformation
• Shallow profile at 1.5 inches overall length allows use in tight clearance areas
• Compatible with both 6-point and 12-point fasteners for broad hardware coverage
• 1/2 inch drive fits standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
• SAE sizing for use with inch-standard fasteners

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement shallow socket for use with standard 1/2 inch drive hand tool sets in trade and industrial service applications.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by a licensed or journeyman-level technician as part of routine fastener service on mechanical systems. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener and drive tool before applying torque. Inspect the socket for wear or cracks before use, and do not use damaged sockets. Follow applicable safety standards for hand tool use in your trade and jurisdiction.
