Garden hose faucet wrench

After getting zero replies on AHR, I did a search on Ebay. Will be happy to report on that, if anyone asks.

I searched on ebay and the web, and only came up with the cris-cross quad, and single keys with a big "t" portion. What did you find?

I see you're back to your same old crap of starting a brand new thread beginning with "Re:" aren't you?

Come on, get with the program.

Someone listed two very old single keys. I bought it now. Tried em yesterday, they do the job nicely.

The quad wrench "four way faucet key" I had wasn't suited, as it didn't have 3/8. It was also hitting on the spigot.

Will try them on the job some time.

so, did what you buy have to top "tee" to let you get some leverage? Is that smaller than the four way key, so it won't hit the wall?

I don't consider follow up to be "starting a brand new thread". It notifies the gentle reader that there is new information in the thread. New thread would be for example if I changed the subject line to "Ebay find!"

Not sure what is the cause of your OCD, but please point it some other direction.

You are granted my permission to complain.

We have pointed out in the past that when you add Re: to your subject lines, some newsreaders do not recognize the post as part of the original thread.

This is not your fault per-se, but it is a reality and it makes it hard for some gentle readers to follow the thread.

One solution would be for you to gently suggest that the folks who are experiencing the problem switch to a newsreader that does not exhibit this issue.

Another solution would be for you to be kind and not alter the subject line of your threads so that all newsreaders will maintain the cohesiveness of the thread.

Which solution you choose is obviously your choice, but I would like to point out that the vast majority of usenet users do not add Re: to their subject lines and therefore do not impact the gentle readers of their threads.

There is a third solution: just forget about it and tell any whiners to bugger off.

Would I be correct is saying that you are not one of those impacted by the breaking up of the threads?

There is a certain simplicity to your idea. Actually, I rather like it.

Please trim excess text (I did it for you). I can't remember. Bugger off.

Hey, that's a new one. I may be developing new skills which I can use in various contexts. "Hello, this is ABC company. Bugger off." New telephone greeting.

Honest, officer, I wasn't speeding! Now, bugger off.

This is going to be as much fun as the Hawaiian salute.

The Re: is part of my news reader, and it's common ettiquite in emails and news posts.

Frankly, I'd rather modify the subject line to keep it relevant, and risk losing a reader or two.

Usenet reader lives don't much matter to me.

The problem that sent me searching, is that the four way faucet key got too close to the hose threads on the outdoor assembly. I wanted some thing where the handle was a couple inches away from the valve stem. The items I got off Ebay were longer, and so the turn handle is away from the hose threads.

beats me.

A bunch of stupid text trimmed.

Better?

If you are going to change subject likes, please keep them relevant. I don't recall saying anything about *my* newsreader. Why did you bring it up?

Yes, thank you.

Derby's usenet reader matters.

Seemed sensible to make that conclusion.
