Williams Comfort Products JHWSTM-1223 Shallow Socket 23MM

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWSTM-1223 is a shallow metric socket designed for fast, reliable fastener engagement in professional hand-tool applications. Built with lobular internal openings, the socket applies turning force to the flat sides of a fastener rather than the corners, reducing the chance of rounding under load. It accepts a 1/2 inch drive and fits 23 MM fasteners. The overall assembled length is approximately 1.6 inches, making it well suited for confined spaces where a standard-depth socket will not clear. Sold individually, this socket is a straightforward addition to a trade or industrial tool kit.

This shallow socket is intended for use in mechanical, electrical, and industrial maintenance applications where metric fasteners are common. The 1/2 inch drive is a standard size across professional-grade ratchets and impact tools, making this socket compatible with the drive equipment already on most job sites. Its shallow profile is particularly useful when working around panels, enclosures, or equipment where fastener access is limited and socket depth matters.

Key Features

• Lobular opening design applies torque to fastener flats, reducing corner deformation
• Compatible with both 6-point and 12-point fasteners for versatile engagement
• Shallow profile at 1.6 inches overall length fits tight clearance situations
• 1/2 inch drive accepts standard ratchets and drive tools
• 23 MM metric sizing for use with metric fastener sets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard addition for 1/2 inch drive metric socket sets requiring a shallow 23 MM socket.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by a licensed mechanic, electrician, or qualified maintenance technician using a 1/2 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying rotational force to avoid slippage. Do not use impact-rated tools unless the socket is rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use.
