Williams Comfort Products JHWSTM-1216 Shallow Socket 16MM

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWSTM-1216 is a shallow-profile metric socket designed for professional-grade fastener work. Built on a 1/2 inch drive, this socket fits 16 MM fasteners and features SUPERTORQUE lobular openings that apply turning force to the flat sides of the fastener rather than the corners. This reduces fastener deformation under high torque and extends the usable life of both the socket and the hardware being driven. At 1.6 inches in overall length, the shallow profile allows access in confined spaces where a standard-depth socket would not seat properly. Mechanics, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working on metric-fastened equipment reach for tools like this when clearance is tight and torque demands are real.

This socket is suited for maintenance and repair work on metric-fastened assemblies in commercial, industrial, and residential trade settings. The shallow overall length makes it practical for underhood automotive work, equipment panels, HVAC unit access covers, and similar applications where fastener heads sit in recessed pockets or near obstructions. The SUPERTORQUE lobular profile engages cleanly on both 6-point and 12-point fasteners, making it versatile across a range of fastener styles without requiring a socket change.

Key Features

• SUPERTORQUE lobular openings reduce corner loading and minimize fastener deformation during driving
• Compatible with both 6-point and 12-point fasteners for broader versatility
• Shallow profile at 1.6 inches overall length for use in confined or restricted access areas
• 1/2 inch drive fits standard 1/2 inch ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches
• 16 MM metric sizing for use on metric-fastened assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style metric shallow socket for use with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches across trade and industrial applications.

Installation Notes

This socket is used by mechanics, millwrights, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance trades. Before loosening or torquing fasteners on powered equipment, de-energize the system and follow applicable lockout/tagout procedures. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent rounding. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use on high-torque applications.
