the key to hydration

[deleted17310]

This is a commercial water key. It turns on any water faucet without a handle like those found on commercial properties or at some d-bags house who has removed the handle. It also opens the enclosure boxes that protect the faucet from tampering and will turn on the underground main some homes
. Have a drink on me guys

They are indispensable. I always keep on in my bag and even though I'm primarily a trail walker these days it still comes in handy.

I'm still fairly infuriated whenever I think about people taking handles off of water spigots to deny ANYONE access to water. That's like trying to deny someone access to oxygen. I think there's a name for that. Oh yeah, MURDER.

Is "water key" the proper name for it? Tried searching for one on Menards and Home Depot websites. Closest I found was a "sillcock key" - not sure if it's the same thing.

Could you just use a multi-tool instead? I feel like I could get my pliers in there and twist it, but I've never tried.

 

[MarvelWair]

Ya pliers work.

yes this is the proper term for this tool. if you walk into a hardware store tell them your looking for one of these, they'll show you where they are. costs about $2.50+ depending on how many heads it has.

You can swoop these pretty easy from home depot gardening section. They just leave them on the spouts. They have tons extra so they wont miss it if you take it. My friend used to work there and she took hers from there too. Haha

 

[BusGypsy]

Yup, I have one of these, love it, a great investment, totally works.

Being that it is heating up, this thread should be bumped up, as having one of these handy tools can truly be a life saver. It's also surprising how many people don't know about them.
