Williams Comfort Products JHWST-1244 Shallow Socket 1/2 Dr

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWST-1244 is a shallow SAE socket designed for use with a 1/2 inch drive. It features a 1 3/8 inch opening and an overall length of 2 1/16 inches, making it a compact option for fastener work in tight spaces. The lobular internal geometry grips fastener flats rather than corners, reducing the chance of rounding under high torque. This socket is suited for mechanics, millwrights, and general trade professionals who need reliable shallow-reach fastener engagement on standard SAE hardware.

This socket fits common 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. Its shallow profile is well suited for applications where clearance above the fastener is limited and a deep socket would not seat properly. The dual-engagement design works on both 6-point and 12-point fasteners, offering flexibility across a range of hex bolt and nut configurations found in mechanical, HVAC equipment, and plumbing fixture work.

Key Features

• Lobular opening geometry grips fastener flats to reduce deformation under torque
• Engages both 6-point and 12-point fasteners
• Shallow profile at 2 1/16 inches overall length for use in low-clearance areas
• 1/2 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
• SAE sizing at 1 3/8 inch opening

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by trade professionals using standard 1/2 inch drive hand tool equipment. Ensure 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 use, and replace if drive engagement shows signs of deformation.
