Williams JHWBM-608 Metric Shallow Socket 8MM 3/8 Drive

Product Description

The WILLIAMS JHWBM-608 is a metric shallow socket designed for 3/8 inch drive applications requiring precise torque delivery on 8 MM fasteners. Built with SUPERTORQUE lobular openings, the socket applies force to the flat sides of a fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding or deforming the fastener head. The shallow profile keeps the overall length to 1 1/32 inches, making it practical in confined spaces where a deep socket will not fit. Mechanics, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working on metric equipment will find this socket suited to production and field service work alike.

This socket is intended for use with 3/8 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches. The 8 MM drive size and shallow design make it a common choice for general automotive, light industrial, and equipment maintenance tasks where metric fasteners are standard. It is sold individually and sized for 6-point fastener engagement, which maximizes contact area and minimizes fastener damage under load.

Key Features

• SUPERTORQUE lobular openings apply force to fastener flats, not corners, reducing fastener damage
• Designed for maximum engagement on 6-point fasteners
• Shallow profile at 1 1/32 inches overall length suits restricted-access applications
• 3/8 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches
• 8 MM metric sizing for common metric fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard service socket for use with 3/8 inch drive tool sets on 8 MM metric fasteners.

Installation Notes

Install and remove with a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage and fastener damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use, and replace any socket showing visible deformation. Follow applicable torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer when using with a calibrated torque wrench.
