Williams Comfort Products JHWST-1248 Shallow Socket

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWST-1248 is a shallow 1/2 inch drive SAE socket designed for professional fastener work in tight-clearance applications. Built with SUPERTORQUE lobular openings, the socket applies turning force to the flat sides of a fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high torque. The overall length is 2.25 inches, with a 1.5 inch opening size, and the unit weighs 1.02 pounds. This socket fits cleanly into tool kits used across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades where space around the fastener head is limited.

The JHWST-1248 is suited for residential and light commercial service work where a low-profile socket is needed to access recessed or flush-mounted fasteners. The shallow profile reduces reach into confined spaces, making it a practical choice for equipment panels, access covers, and mechanical assemblies. The 1/2 inch drive accepts standard 1/2 inch ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches common in trade toolsets.

Key Features

• SUPERTORQUE lobular openings reduce fastener deformation under load
• Engages both 6-point and 12-point fasteners for versatile use
• Shallow profile suits tight-clearance and recessed fastener locations
• 1/2 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets and torque wrenches
• SAE sizing at 1.5 inches for common imperial fastener applications

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and mechanical service professionals. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slipping. Inspect the socket and drive interface for wear before use on high-torque applications. Follow applicable service codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines when accessing fastener assemblies.
