Review on Camco Residential Screw Heater Element Rough Plumbing by John Rivera

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Rubbish for my use

I used to use these stamped steel kits to get shower valves out and what not, so figured it would work to remove my stuck RV water heater element from an onsite water heater. It might have worked if it hadn't gotten stuck. MAY BE. The overall length is about 5 inches, which puts the hole where you insert the screwdriver right on the edge of the gap (or read: not enough gap). This makes turning very difficult. , and flat, onto the nut of the element while twisting with difficulty and holding the screwdriver. Just all sorts of bad ones. In principle, do not waste money, look for something else. I immediately swapped it out for a CAMCO allen head (another $5) which should do the same thing but is connected to your drill press so let's see how it works.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Nothing here
