Williams Comfort Products JHWX-1296 Shallow Socket 1 in Drive

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWX-1296 is a shallow impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastener work in trade and industrial applications. Built with a 1 inch drive and sized at 3 inches, it delivers reliable torque transfer through lobular opening geometry that grips fasteners firmly without deforming the contact points. With an overall length of 4.875 inches, this SAE socket suits tight clearance situations where a standard-depth socket would not fit. Mechanics, millwrights, and industrial service technicians reach for this type of socket when working on large fasteners in confined spaces.

This shallow socket is suited for heavy equipment maintenance, structural assembly, and industrial service work where 1 inch drive tooling is standard. The lobular internal profile allows fast engagement on both 6-point and 12-point fasteners, reducing ratchet strokes and speeding up removal or installation. It is sized in SAE for use with inch-measurement fastener standards common in North American industrial and HVAC equipment applications.

Key Features

• Lobular opening geometry increases turning power without rounding fastener corners
• Compatible with both 6-point and 12-point fasteners for faster engagement
• Shallow profile at 4.875 inches overall length for confined-space access
• 1 inch drive for use with high-torque ratchets and breaker bars
• SAE sizing for inch-standard fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement socket for use with 1 inch drive tooling sets in SAE applications requiring a 3 inch shallow socket.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use by qualified mechanics and service technicians familiar with 1 inch drive tooling. Always confirm the fastener size and point configuration before applying torque to avoid fastener damage. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener and drive tool before applying force. Follow applicable safety standards and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines when tightening structural or equipment fasteners.
