Built to SAE specifications, it accepts a 1\/2 inch drive and measures 2 inches in overall length with a 1-1\/4 inch opening. The 8-point lobular design engages 4-point fasteners quickly and applies torque to the flat faces rather than the corners, reducing fastener deformation under load. This socket is suited for mechanics, HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers who work with square-head or recessed fasteners in tight service spaces where a standard-depth socket will not fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe JHWST-840 shallow socket is intended for use where clearance depth is limited, such as panel access points, equipment mounting hardware, and inline fastener clusters found in mechanical rooms and service bays. Its compact overall length of 2 inches allows placement in confined areas where a deep socket would contact surrounding structure or components before seating fully on the fastener.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLobular internal openings transfer torque to fastener flats, reducing corner rounding under high load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-point socket geometry provides rapid engagement on 4-point square fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShallow profile at 2 inches overall length for use in depth-restricted applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSAE sizing at 1-1\/4 inch for common fastener sizes in mechanical and HVAC service work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or service socket for 1\/2 inch drive SAE tool sets used with 4-point and 8-point square fastener heads in commercial and residential mechanical service applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by qualified trade professionals familiar with hand tool safety practices. Always confirm the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slippage or fastener damage. Ensure the drive ratchet or torque wrench is rated for the load being applied. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and remove from service if deformation is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpening Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Shallow, 8-Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.19 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: JHWST-840\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51344946757938,"sku":"JHWST-840","price":37.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310544185.jpg?v=1782046444","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/williams-comfort-products-jhwst-840-shallow-socket","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
