Review on Camco Residential Screw Heater Element Rough Plumbing by Brent Ayyagari

This was perfect for removing a faulty heating element on my water heater. It's better than a socket in my opinion as it has a flat surface to grip the thin hex head of the heating element (makes 100% contact with the surface). I will say that I initially had trouble unscrewing the heating element, but that was because a hard crust had built up in the tank even over the heating element. As soon as he started spinning, he came right away. The holes in the tool that you put the screwdriver through are quite large in diameter compared to the shank of most screwdrivers. The ideal option would be a thicker and longer Phillips head so you have less clearance and a longer handle for better leverage. Good tool - good price.
