I'm writing an estimate for a job where I'll
need to connect to garden hose faucets.
Commercial buildings, some have 1/4 inch
valve stem, most have 5/16, and one had
3/8 square valve stem.

The five dollar wrench set from Harbor Freight
has some eight point sockets that should work
the garden hose faucet stem.

I already own a couple "four way" faucet keys,
but the unused ends get too close to the hose
threads. I'd rather had a socket I can put on a
ratchet wrench.

Any thing out there like this?


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

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

Come on, get with the program.


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.


We have pointed out in the past that when you add
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 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?


beats me.
