Williams Comfort Products QJX8A Torque Wrench Head 1/4 in

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS QJX8A is a 1/4-inch torque wrench head designed for precision fastening in tight or angled access points. The 15-degree offset box end allows technicians to apply controlled torque where a standard straight head cannot reach. With a 12-point socket configuration and a J-type shank measuring 0.425 inches, this head is built for use with compatible torque wrench handles in SAE applications. Maximum torque capacity is 18 ft-lb, making it suited for light fastener work across HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service tasks. At 0.05 pounds, it adds minimal weight to a technician's kit.

This torque wrench head is used in residential and light commercial service environments where precise, repeatable torque is required on small fasteners. The 15-degree offset angle is especially useful in confined equipment spaces such as air handler cabinets, valve assemblies, and panel enclosures where a straight-drive approach is obstructed. Licensed trades including HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians working on equipment fasteners will find this head a practical addition to their torque wrench system.

Installation Notes

This torque wrench head should be installed onto a compatible J-type torque wrench handle before use. Verify the shank is fully seated and locked into the handle before applying torque. Do not exceed the 18 ft-lb maximum torque rating, as overloading can damage the head or fastener. When servicing equipment, de-energize electrical systems and shut off fluid supply lines before accessing fasteners in live assemblies.
