I agree that this socket makes water heater elements much easier to remove and install. Even if you only have to use it once in your lifetime, it's worth it.But this socket could be improved. On the typical water heater element, there's only about 1/8" (maybe 3/16" if you're lucky) of hex head (the part of the water heater element that the socket will connect to) to grab on to. So it's important that the socket fit as flush as possible to the hex head to grab as much of it as it can.Unfortunately, the hex faces inside this socket are relieved from the end of the socket by about 1/16". This means this socket will not sit flush on the heater element and will not grab on to all (possibly only 50%) of the hex head. This makes it easy for the socket to slide off, slip and wobble. If the heater element is on tight or old or rusted, the socket will not be as effective as it could be. You could end up rounding the edges of the element's hex head or busting a knuckle or twisting the water tank. You overcome this design flaw by putting lots of pressure on the socket, pushing it into the heater element. Unfortunately, this is difficult to do when you are also pushing/pulling the wrench in another direction.I haven't had to, but you could use a T-handle wrench like Vim (VIMTT500) Turbo-T 1/2" Drive Speed "T" Handle Wrench to remove a difficult element.Maybe there's a better socket for water heater element out there, until then this is it.
