RV Water Heater Element Wrench Socket, Dual Hex Wrench (1-1/16 in x 1-1/2 in x 6 in), Hex Socket Fit for ll Residential and RV Camper Travel Trailer Motorhome

Quick fix tool

The tool works well, however we needed to use a large automotive wrench to initially break the heater element loose, then the tool worked well. Our HW heater is old which likely explains the need for the additional step.

Not the thickest…but not thin either. Works as needed.

I purchased this product to remove the anode on my Dometic RV waterheater. While fit was good as soon as I applied pressure it cracked and was unusable as indicated in photo.If you remove your water heater anode annually before corrosion occurs this product might be adequate but if you are like most of us and only take it out every few years (or longer) I recommend a purchasing a sturdier/thicker metal wrench or a socket.I measured the metal thickness and it was only 1.5mm while other wrenches on Amazon at a similar price were 2mm.Thanks to Amazon my money was refunded and I decided to not take any chances and ordered "A.I.FORCE RV Water Heater Element Socket Wrench, 1-1/16 Inch Socket for 3/4" NPT Thread Magnesium Rods on RV, Camper Travel or Trailers, 6-Point with 1/2 Inch Socket Drive" knowing it would be much stronger than a 1.5mm or 2mm wrench. I selected this brand just because it had the most reviews.Most of the sockets on Amazon for this purpose were similarly priced, within $1, and the only downside I can see of a socket vs a wrench is that the wrench has two different sizes, one on each end. However this is of no value if the tool is not strong enough to get the job done.

Tool work ok for the first element. Had to put a little torque to it and the element broke free.The second element however is another story. It was stuck pretty darned good. This leads to my issue with the tool. The smaller hex end bent, warped and deformed with the amount of pressure needed to break the element free. Ended up having to go buy an 1 1/2” socket to complete the job. So this ended up being $9 I could have just used in that socket.Can’t say I recommend this tool.

This product solved my expected issues. Was so easy to use. Job completed fast .Thanks

Makes servicing the hot water heater much easier..

Couldn't get any other tool into hole to remove element. Simple tool for single purpose, but it's way cheaper than a new water heater or paying a plumber to install a new element.
