Heavy but good quality

It's big and heavy, not what you want to lug around in a small town E&E kit. That would be fine for a backpack based kit, but too much for a small waist pack or similar. 5.65 oz hard steel.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Almost never

Good value good product

I made this purchase primarily for my wife to put in her backpack in case she was around town and needed access to water in an emergency situation. a water filter and iodine tablets and the ability to boil water, so that's only the fourth way for her to get water in an emergency, and I think every man should have one for his wife.

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

It worked! in Rough Plumbing

We have these sinks all over my place of work and half of them have terrible water pressure. Entering work orders has always been and always will be a problem on the home front, not to mention that you won't be there when they come to fix it, your colleagues will probably just give the poor mechanics crazy looks. Well I can tell you that all faucets work great both hot and cold with just the right pressure.

Pros
  • A few competitors
Cons
  • I'll add later

Well made product for pipe fittings

I purchased this same specimen as the Legend radiator valve handle. All I can say is I'm glad I got over it at the time because my Legend valve handle came incomplete, missing 3 square adapters and a bolt and this Honeywell 4-way wrench saved the day. For that I will be buying a Honeywells thermocouple next time I'm in Lowes this week because I'm happy and it shows my appreciation.

Pros
  • Trial for one year
Cons
  • Repair

Watch out for restocking fees

Ordered this item to bleed air out of our radiators. The tool was too big to fit the 1/4" valve fitting. Returned items were subject to a 20% restocking fee which was not mentioned in the item information. Hardware stores carry these so I would definitely recommend going to your local store to make sure the item fits your application rather than risking ordering from Revain.

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Standard, solid construction

If you've ever owned or used a windowsill key, this key won't surprise you much. It has the standard sized heads used for faucets, meaning you can access fire hydrants and faucets that need protection from accidental opening. Let's be honest, if you know these at all, you probably work in building construction or renovation and need something like that for your job. Nothing in this design will surprise you. It is durable and reliable; mine has survived a few years of use with no signs of wearโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Top marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

You can not do without this tool

I deal with professional and private high-pressure cleaning, so the 4-position wrench is ESSENTIAL. in own pocket with 4 keys. not in your trouser or jacket pocket. Basically you lost it, you're done (period) The 4-way wrench is so important that I highly recommend buying 2-3 of these. And the SHTF guys, yes, buy a 4-way wrench, there's always some water left in the line (unless) someone turns the water off, which actually happens about 1 in 10 times. Most geniuses use needle nose pliers butโ€ฆ

Pros
  • practical thing
Cons
  • volume

A great item to have in your car tool kit. Always be prepared

I bought one of these for my car tool kit a few years ago and it came in handy a few times while we were in our church building after spending hours working on Scout gear and a trailer . After a weekend of camping we return with a pile of dirty gear and the church is a handleless commercial building with a water faucet and no servants around. Luckily I had my own silk key and we were busy washing the gear. I used it at least twice a year just for that. It's funny when you're a little late andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Nothing here
