Williams Comfort Products JHWX-1256 Shallow Socket 1 in Drive

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWX-1256 is a shallow socket designed for high-torque fastener work in demanding trade environments. Built with a 1-inch drive and sized at 1 3/4 inches, this SAE socket features lobular internal openings that increase turning power while reducing the risk of deforming fastener heads. At 3 inches overall length, the shallow profile allows access in tight spaces where a standard-depth socket would not fit. Licensed tradespeople working on heavy mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment, and industrial piping systems rely on sockets like this for reliable, repeatable fastener engagement.

This socket suits residential and commercial applications where 1-inch drive tooling is required. The shallow design is particularly useful when working around flanges, panel frames, or mounting hardware with limited axial clearance. The SAE sizing makes it appropriate for equipment manufactured to imperial fastener standards, which is common across HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical systems installed in North America.

Key Features

• Lobular internal openings deliver increased torque transfer without deforming fastener heads
• Compatible with both 6-point and 12-point fasteners for quick engagement
• Shallow profile at 3 inches overall length fits tight clearance applications
• 1-inch drive size handles heavy-duty fastener loads
• SAE sizing for imperial fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement socket for use with standard 1-inch drive ratchets, torque wrenches, and impact tools accepting SAE shallow sockets.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners with this socket should be performed by a qualified mechanic or licensed trade professional. Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage or fastener damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and retire any socket that shows visible deformation. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines when tightening critical fasteners.
