Williams Comfort Products JHWST-612 Shallow Socket 1/2 in Drive

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWST-612 is a shallow-profile, 6-point SAE socket designed for use with a 1/2 inch drive ratchet or impact tool. Built with lobular-profile openings, it applies torque to the flat sides of a fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under load. The socket measures 1.5 inches in overall length and accepts 3/8 inch fasteners. At 0.13 pounds, it is a lightweight but durable hand tool suited for tight-clearance fastening tasks in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service work.

This socket is well suited for trade professionals who need reliable fastener engagement in confined spaces where a deep socket will not fit. The shallow profile makes it a practical choice for panel work, equipment mounting, and component removal in residential and light commercial service applications. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard 1/2 inch drive tool sets.

Key Features

• Lobular openings engage fastener flats to maximize torque transfer without deforming corners
• 6-point design provides full contact on hex fasteners for high-load applications
• Shallow profile allows use in tight clearance locations where deep sockets cannot fit
• SAE sizing at 3/8 inch for common fastener compatibility
• 1/2 inch drive fits standard ratchets, extensions, and impact wrenches

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and impact tools accepting standard SAE shallow sockets.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general service professionals. Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully seated before applying torque to prevent slippage or socket ejection. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and do not use with a drive adapter that exceeds the rated drive size.
