Remember to look for the water heater in any building you gain entry to.

And for $6.42 on Amazon.com, why not?

Word of friendly advice if this is your site. Monetize your links like this by creating an Amazon seller's account. I bet a lot of people are hitting that link now and buying it and you could be earning off every purchase simply by tweaking your link.

I don’t think you want to be doing that on my property.

FWIW, a properly sized 8 point socket or (probably) 12 point socket will work just fine.

Yeah, you could probably use the pliers on a Leatherman or Gerber tool, but why mess with all that?

The main reason I can think of is because I already own one and carry it daily.

It's not a seller's account, it's an Amazon Associates Account

Yeah, can’t monetize Amazon, alas. Amazon will not accept affiliates in my state, due to taxation issues.

Problem is, there are multiple sizes of sillcock stems. Hence, the 4-way key. So, I carry a socket set in my BOB? Yeah, OK, I could see that, but the sillcock key makes more sense to me.

Your mileage may vary. Just a tip.

They may even be available from your local building supply store; I haven't checked.

Try a plumbing specialty store, and ask for a *four-way.*
