Williams Comfort Products JHWX-1242 Shallow Socket

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWX-1242 is a shallow-profile impact-style socket designed for use with a 1 inch drive. It features an overall length of 2.5 inches and a 1 5/16 inch opening size. The socket uses lobular internal geometry that increases turning power on hex fasteners without deforming the flats or corners. This design also allows quick engagement on both 6-point and 12-point fasteners. The JHWX-1242 is suited for heavy-duty mechanical and industrial fastening work where a shallow socket profile is required and drive torque must be maintained without fastener damage.

This socket is appropriate for use in trade and industrial settings where 1 inch drive tools are standard. The shallow overall length of 2.5 inches makes it useful in confined spaces where a deep socket would not clear surrounding structures. It is sold individually and is compatible with 1 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches commonly used in mechanical, HVAC equipment, and industrial maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by mechanical technicians and tradespeople using 1 inch drive hand or pneumatic tools. Ensure the drive tool is rated for the torque required by the application before use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if deformation is present. Follow applicable workplace safety standards when working with high-torque fastening equipment.
