Williams Comfort Products JHWST-1240 Shallow Socket

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWST-1240 is a shallow SAE socket designed for professional-grade fastener work in tight-clearance applications. Built with a 1/2 inch drive and sized at 1 1/4 inch, it features lobular internal openings that increase torque transfer while reducing the risk of rounding or deforming fastener heads. The overall length of 1 7/8 inches and shallow profile make it a practical choice where standard-depth sockets will not fit. This socket is sold individually and suits the demands of licensed tradespeople working in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical installation environments.

The JHWST-1240 is suited for use on both 6-point and 12-point SAE fasteners, making it versatile across a wide range of mechanical service calls. Its shallow depth is especially useful in confined spaces such as equipment panels, valve assemblies, and mechanical enclosures where a deep socket would contact surrounding hardware. The 1/2 inch square drive is compatible with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches commonly found in trade toolkits.

Key Features

• Lobular opening design increases turning power without deforming fastener heads
• Shallow profile fits in tight-clearance and low-headroom fastener locations
• Compatible with both 6-point and 12-point SAE fasteners for quick engagement
• 1/2 inch drive accepts standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit shallow socket for use with standard 1/2 inch drive tool sets on 1 1/4 inch SAE 6-point and 12-point fasteners.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 1/2 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the drive tool is fully seated in the socket before applying torque to prevent slippage or tool ejection. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and do not use impact-rated tools with this socket unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use.
