Type of review

I did the measurements for the key size, still too large for the valve. Snapped off the 2nd time I used it. Not sure if it was because I was out in the cold so long to maneuver it that the metal just snapped

Pros
  • right size (3/4 inch) is important
Cons
  • The product may be too specialized for general household use

Helpful tool! good for me

It’s compact but strongly built. Exactly what I needed to turn my sprinkler System on every spring and off in the fall without having to reach in

Pros
  • water meter valve
Cons
  • The key may be too heavy to carry for long distances or on long hikes

Handy Dandy! There when you need it.

The product is very useful when you need to turn off the water supply! Bought one for our plumber who had always used just a screw driver.

Pros
  • Well made & sturdy.
Cons
  • The product may be too expensive for occasional use

Convenient tool: my feedback

I like that this tool is inexpensive enough that I can leave it in my water meter box to use every time I go to my camp and need to turn the water off and on.

Pros
  • I am very pleased.
Cons
  • Was missing the 4 way utility key. Seems to be a popular issue. How do I get the rest of my order?

Very sturdy wrench - my new review

I was pleasantly surprised how strong and well made this water meter wrench was when I received it. It is only 12" long, so if your meter is very deep in the ground, it may not be long enough. My meter is very close to the surface, so it is a perfect size.

Pros
  • Works
Cons
  • The product may not fit all types of water meters, limiting its usefulness

It's short. Might not be long enough for some water shutoffs.

Worked for my shutoff but I didn't realize it was so short it's only about 1 foot long. might not be good if your shutoff is further down in the ground.Can you believe my house doesn't have a shut-off built-in? What the heck.

Pros
  • Seems well made. Haven’t used it yet but I’m pleased with what came out of the box.
Cons
  • The product may be susceptible to wear and tear after repeated use

advertised 17 inches but it is 16 inches

I will be sending it back. The length was advertised as 17 inches but when I inspected the purchase it was only 16 inches. That's my feedback.

Pros
  • Easy to use.
Cons
  • Need a longer pole so I won’t have to kneel on the ground!

Convenient and handy to have

I haven't had to use it yet, but be aware that it is much shorter than it appears in the photo. Perhaps I didn't check the dimensions. I thought it would be a little shorter than a shovel, but you have to bend in half to reach the ground. Not a problem, I just thought the photos are a little off. I'm just not familiar with this type of key. (The other tool is much, much smaller in person, too.)I will update when I actually have to use it. (We had to use a wrench last time, which is why I…

Pros
  • Fantastic for what it is. Just make sure you box isn't raised to high!
Cons
  • The enforced T-handle may be too rough or uncomfortable to grip for some users

As Advertized for my opinion

I have had inly one occasion to usw this tool since I recieved it, and it worked perfectly, as advertized. It arrived in perfect condition, appears to be of very sturdy material and workmenship. It's extremly useful to have. I would recommend this tool for anyone living in a home for that "oh crap" moment when a pipe or some-such bursts, or you need to perform a bit of plumbing. This orfer also came with a small Adapter tool for water spickets and such, very handy. Recommend fully. :)

Pros
  • Worked great.
Cons
  • The key may be too difficult to clean after use in muddy or wet conditions

You only get what you pay for !

This is CERTAINLY not "Contractor Grade". The description says 12", but if you make the same mistake I did and gloss over the description in favor of the pictures, you would think its much longer and sturdier. It's not ! It will probably be better than a crescent wrench or channel locks. but not much. Twelve inches in length means you will still be laying on the ground with your head in a hole.

Pros
  • Study, came fast, good deal for the money, thanks!
Cons
  • The shaft was much much shorter than I expected

Smaller than I thought, but the meter key works great to open and close main house water supply at the meter. Like the yellow handles makes gripping the meter key easy when turning at the underground meter box.

Pros
  • Open and close curb main and water meters and underground stop or waste valves with ease
Cons
  • The enforced T-handle may be prone to bending or warping under heavy use

Works like a charm - my new review

I purchased this item to turn off the water main to the house in order to switch out the Kitchen sink faucet. It was priced fairly, came on time, and is a sturdy piece of equipment. I am pleased with this purchase.

Pros
  • Needed this for emergencies
Cons
  • The price point may be higher than other comparable products on the market

Won't fit my water shutoff valve

I really would have thought all water meter shutoffs were the same, but maybe not. The slot for this fits around my thumb, and my water meter valve is less than a half inch thick.

Pros
  • Strong, sturdy item
Cons
  • Disappointed. Not strong enough for stubborn valves.

Quick delivery well made.

Came very fast just what I needed. I often have to turn city main valve off when I have busted water line and often hassle to find city employee to do it especially on weekends. Now I won’t have to!

Pros
  • I misunderstood the measurements but it does what it needs to do
Cons
  • The key may be too large for some individuals to handle comfortably
