Size of Hex (Allen Wrench) for Loop Loc Anchors?

[bostonpool]

Hi Folks:

Does anyone know what size hex / allen wrench is needed to thread down / up loop loc anchors? I see the 18" hex wrenches for sale, but I'm wanting to instead buy a drill bit to use so I can stop doing it manually.

Thanks.

A 1/4" Allen Key is used to turn the brass anchors.

The stem of an impact gun bit, chucked into a regular drill backwards, fits the brass anchor. The drill makes raising and lowering the anchors easy. Go gentle as its easy to strip the brass. Also, the anchor is fairly deep but likely full of debris. A gentle push downward fully seats the drill bit.
