Williams Comfort Products JHWSTM-1218 Shallow Metric Socket

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWSTM-1218 is a shallow metric socket designed for professional-grade fastener work in demanding trade environments. Built with a 1/2 inch drive and sized for 18 MM fasteners, this socket features lobular internal openings that increase turning power while reducing the risk of rounding or deforming fastener heads. The overall length is 1.5 inches, keeping the profile compact for use in tighter clearances where deep sockets will not fit. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical tradespeople will find this socket well-suited to both production and service work.

This socket is intended for use with 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars in metric fastener applications. The shallow profile makes it particularly useful when working on bolt heads with limited depth clearance. Its geometry supports quick engagement on both 6-point and 12-point fasteners, reducing the time spent seating the socket during repetitive or overhead work. Sold individually.

Key Features

• Lobular opening design increases torque transfer and resists fastener deformation
• Compatible with both 6-point and 12-point fasteners for quick engagement
• Shallow profile at 1.5 inches OAL allows use in tight clearance situations
• 1/2 inch drive fits standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
• 18 MM metric sizing for common trade fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2 inch drive shallow metric socket for use with 18 MM fasteners on both 6-point and 12-point configurations; fits any 1/2 inch drive tool.

Installation Notes

Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully seated before applying torque to avoid slippage or socket ejection. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, particularly after exposure to impact loads. When using with a torque wrench, confirm the fastener torque specification from the equipment manufacturer before tightening. Power down or de-energize equipment before accessing fasteners on electrical or mechanical systems.
