Williams Comfort Products JHWST-1236 Shallow Socket Sae

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWST-1236 is a shallow-profile SAE socket designed for use with 1/2 inch drive ratchets and impact tools. It measures 1 1/8 inch in drive size opening with an overall length of approximately 1.7 inches, making it well suited for fastener locations where clearance depth is limited. The lobular internal geometry distributes torque across the flat faces of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing fastener rounding under high load. Trades that require controlled torque in tight quarters — including HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical installation work — will find this profile useful for both 6-point and 12-point fasteners.

This socket is intended for general mechanical service applications where a shallow reach is necessary to access recessed or partially obstructed fasteners. It is sold as an individual unit and is compatible with standard 1/2 inch drive hand ratchets, breaker bars, and pneumatic or electric impact drivers. The SAE sizing makes it appropriate for inch-standard fastener work common in domestic equipment and machinery.

Key Features

• Shallow profile at 1.7 inches overall length allows access in depth-restricted spaces
• 1 1/8 inch SAE opening fits standard inch-series hex fasteners
• 1/2 inch drive compatible with hand ratchets, breaker bars, and impact drivers
• Lobular internal opening engages fastener flats to reduce corner deformation under torque
• Designed for quick engagement on both 6-point and 12-point fasteners

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2 inch drive SAE shallow socket for use with conventional 1/2 inch drive hand and power tools requiring a 1 1/8 inch fastener opening.

Installation Notes

Installation and service using this socket should be performed by qualified trade professionals following applicable mechanical and equipment codes. Ensure the drive tool is rated for the torque demands of the application before use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and do not use adapters that could reduce drive integrity or create unexpected torque angles.
