Default Freeze proof faucets that freeze

They're called "FREEZE PROOF" faucets. Yet, I've never found one that
dont freeze. I've tried several brands, one was cheap, the another was
costly. They ALL freeze in cold weather.

Do you cover the faucet with insulation so there's more heat coming from
the building than can get out the (covered) metal spigot?
I don't know what the number is, but there should be some amount
of insulation that works. Build an insulated box around it with
as much insulation as it takes in the door.
