Williams Comfort Products JHWST-812 Shallow Socket 1/2 in Drive

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWST-812 is a shallow SAE socket designed for fastener removal and installation in tight clearance applications. Built on a 1/2 inch drive, this 3/8 inch 8-point socket features SUPERTORQUE lobular openings that increase turning power while reducing contact stress on fastener corners. The overall assembled length is 1.5 inches, making it well suited for use in confined workspaces where a standard-depth socket will not clear. Technicians across mechanical trades reach for shallow sockets when working in congested engine bays, equipment panels, or service access areas where depth clearance is limited.

This socket is intended for professional use in mechanical and industrial service environments. The 8-point design allows quick engagement on 4-point square-drive fasteners as well as standard hex fasteners, expanding its utility across a range of service tasks. The 1/2 inch drive coupling accepts standard 1/2 inch ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches, making it compatible with most professional drive sets already in a technician's inventory.

Key Features

• SUPERTORQUE lobular opening design increases turning power without deforming fastener flats
• 8-point configuration allows fast engagement on both 4-point and hex fasteners
• Shallow profile at 1.5 inches overall length fits restricted clearance applications
• 1/2 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches
• SAE sizing at 3/8 inch fits common inch-standard fasteners

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets and accessories in SAE service applications requiring a shallow-profile socket.

Installation Notes

This socket is a hand tool and does not require power isolation before use; however, technicians should follow appropriate lockout/tagout procedures when servicing energized equipment. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slippage or fastener damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and do not use damaged sockets.
