Williams Comfort Products JHWST-1231 Shallow Socket 1/2 Dr

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWST-1231 is a shallow-pattern SAE socket designed for use with a 1/2 inch drive ratchet or impact wrench. It measures 1 9/16 inches overall length (OAL) and is sized at 31/32 inch. The socket features SUPERTORQUE lobular openings, which apply force to the flat sides of a fastener rather than its corners. This reduces fastener rounding under high torque and extends tool life. Mechanics, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working in tight clearance environments reach for shallow-profile sockets when a standard or deep socket would contact surrounding hardware or structures.

This socket suits automotive, industrial, and general mechanical applications where a 31/32 inch SAE fastener must be driven in a confined space. The shallow OAL of 1 9/16 inches keeps the drive point close to the work surface, making it practical for engine bays, machinery frames, and structural assemblies. It is compatible with both 6-point and 12-point fasteners, giving technicians flexibility across a range of bolt and nut head configurations.

Key Features

• SUPERTORQUE lobular openings transfer torque to fastener flats, reducing corner deformation
• Shallow profile at 1 9/16 inches OAL suits low-clearance fastener access
• 1/2 inch square drive fits standard 1/2 inch ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches
• 31/32 inch SAE sizing for precise fastener fit
• Designed for quick engagement on 6-point and 12-point fasteners

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement socket compatible with standard 1/2 inch drive hand tools and impact wrenches accepting SAE shallow sockets.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand tool technicians, mechanics, and maintenance professionals using standard 1/2 inch drive equipment. Always confirm the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage or fastener damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and do not use a damaged socket under impact loads.
