Ordered that one from Amazon. It should arrive today. I ordered chrome
rather than SS finish. I have a nice SS-finish set in the bathroom
whose handle is worn down to the brass after maybe 10 or 15 years.
Chrome ought to be better, although the chrome plating on the last
Craftsman 10mm socket I bought peeled off with my thumbnail.

Those both sure look like they use washers to me.

But why do you have to replace yours so often. Mine last for 10 years
or more. I think one i use often is still original, 42 years.

No idea. The brand-new unit needed frequent washers too. Enough is enough.

I once bought a seat refinisher, but it seemed cheap and I wasn't
convinced it did anything.

Many faucets have replaceable seats. If the seats might be ruining your
washers and you can replace the seats, do that. They unscrew with a
flat-blade screwdriver. Somehow the slot doesn't interfere with the
seat or the hole, clever people these plumbers.

Did that too. Clearly a defective design.
