Built from chrome vanadium steel and finished to resist corrosion, the sockets provide reliable torque transfer using any standard 1\/2\" drive ratchet, breaker bar, or extension. The shorter sleeve design improves access in tight spaces near the heater top, while the 6-point profile helps protect hex heads during stubborn removals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich anode rod sizes does this kit cover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit contains two of the most common water heater anode hex sizes: 1-1\/16\" and 1-3\/16\".
