Williams Comfort Products JHWST-1242 Shallow Socket Sae

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWST-1242 is a shallow-pattern SAE socket designed for use with a 1/2 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. It measures 1 5/16 inch in fastener size with an overall length of approximately 1.9 inches, keeping it compact for confined-space access. The socket features lobular internal openings engineered to apply torque to the flat sides of a fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding or deforming the fastener head. It is suited for automotive, industrial, and mechanical trade applications where a shallow profile is required.

This socket is intended for professional use in settings where clearance above the fastener is limited and a standard-depth socket will not fit. The 1/2 inch square drive makes it compatible with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches. The lobular opening geometry works on both 6-point and 12-point fasteners, giving the technician flexibility when working with mixed fastener types on equipment, machinery, or vehicles.

Key Features

• Shallow profile reduces overall length to approximately 1.9 inches for use in tight clearance areas
• Lobular internal openings transfer torque to fastener flats, not corners, reducing fastener deformation
• Compatible with both 6-point and 12-point fasteners for broad application flexibility
• 1/2 inch square drive fits standard ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches
• SAE sizing at 1 5/16 inch for use with standard inch-measurement fasteners

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches accepting SAE shallow sockets. Compatible with both 6-point and 12-point fastener heads.

Installation Notes

Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully engaged before applying torque to avoid slippage or fastener damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use, particularly when applying high torque. Follow the equipment manufacturer's torque specifications for the fastener being driven. Sockets should be used by qualified mechanics or trade professionals familiar with proper drive tool handling.
