QUICK and EASY Fix for Outdoor Faucet Handle that is Stripped!

That key looks like a great fix for that! You may want to switch that para cord out with some chain or something that looks better! Just a suggestion!

If I just put that key on my outdoor keys that will stop my neighbors from stealing water now that their's is cut off like just pay your bill. But this will be perfect for me.

First turn off water

What if the thingy your turning is stripped??? How can I fix that?

That's not a fix. That's a workaround

hey, that's great. will save me lots of trouble !! Thanks

What about when the faucet has small teeth? I can seen to find that handle, I only find one that is too big for mine. If you know anything that I can do beside replacing the faucet please tell me, thanks

COULD YOU HELP ME PLEASE CAN I REPLACE IT'S HANDLE WITH THE UP GRADE THAT OPENS WITH LESS TURNS ??? PLEASE HELP ME I CAN NOT REPLACE RHE WHOLE SPIGOT THANKS GOD BLESS YOU ALL THERE

Bootleg

What if the screw to take the handle off is stripped?

My knobs screw is so rusted it is not possible to unscrew...My water leaks from the knob when knob is turned on..how do I remove the knob?

Hey Brian, I know you said you don't want to strip the screw holding the handle in place, but what if that thing just will not come out?? I've tried getting it out and its starting to stip. Appears to be a softer metal that both my flathead and philips head is starting to strip.

Yes helpful thank u

That’s when you fabricate a new handle out of a pair of vise grips.

Why didn’t you replace the knob?

Love it - Ty

Lol

Great video, but after using the key, it appears that the valve itself is stripped. And for some reason my inside valve isn't turning off the water either. Good times.

Hi! Thanks for the video. I have a Prier handle that will not move/turn. Do you think what you shown in the video would work for this issue as well?

Wat if you don’t have anything at all to use

looks easy so I tried it but it didn't work. I used the sillcock key to try to shut it off, but it just kept turning, just like it did with the knob. Please help? What does this mean?

We call that getto rigging where I’m from

Thanks for this video. Our outdoor faucet handle just keeps turning and we have to push it in as we turn to turn off/on. This video is helpful but a question: I tried to unscrew the handle but the flat-head screw won't budge. How do I get it off? TIA

What if half of the handle is broken how do I get it off

My handle stripped with the water ON. Can I take the handle off even if the water is turned on?

What about when the screw that holds the round handle on is stuck and the handle is so calcified that it actually breaks off when I tried to turn it with pliers?

Man-Cave.

who steals water? Is that a thing?

I use my lighter for cigrits all day long.

i bought a house and we have that key but the previous owner has mis-used the bit on the wall and stripped the bolt round. Can you do a tutorial on how to replace the part on the wall or do I have to call a professional to replace it? sorry if im using the wrong terms, english is not my first language.

4 way stem key is $10... that’s pricey?

Thanks for the tips Brian! Nice temporary fix! Plumbing made easy!

Thanks Brian that’s a simple and easy fix. Hope you and your family family have a great Easter Weekend.👍

Great tips brother. Hope you and your family have a great Easter

Cool!! I've seen that key thing before but didn't know what it was used for.
