Williams Comfort Products JHWX-1294 Shallow Socket Sae

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWX-1294 is a shallow-pattern impact socket designed for professional use in tight clearance applications where a standard-depth socket will not fit. Built to SAE dimensions, this socket features a 1 inch drive and an overall length of 4 27/32 inches with a 2 15/16 inch opening. The lobular internal geometry grips fastener flats rather than corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high torque loads. It is suited for heavy-duty mechanical work performed by automotive, industrial, and maintenance trades requiring reliable fastener engagement in confined spaces.

This socket is used in applications where shallow-reach tooling is required, such as recessed fastener locations on machinery, vehicles, and structural assemblies. The SAE sizing and 1 inch drive make it compatible with standard heavy-duty impact wrenches and torque multipliers commonly found in industrial and fleet maintenance settings. The dual-direction engagement profile allows use on both 6-point and 12-point fasteners without switching tools.

Key Features

• Lobular opening design grips fastener flats for greater turning power without deforming fastener corners
• Shallow profile allows access in low-clearance fastener locations
• Designed for quick engagement on both 6-point and 12-point fasteners
• SAE sizing with 1 inch drive for compatibility with heavy-duty impact equipment
• 2 15/16 inch opening suits large-diameter fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit shallow socket for 1 inch drive impact wrenches and manual breaker bars using SAE fastener standards.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by qualified mechanics and maintenance technicians using standard 1 inch drive impact or hand tools. Always ensure the drive tool is rated for the torque being applied before use. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use, and remove from service if damage is found. Secure the socket to the drive tool with the appropriate retaining pin or hog ring to prevent unintentional release during operation.
