Living in MInnesota I have encountered many issues with my spigots. This last year or two both of them have become a game to try to turn the water on without being drenched from the leaked spraying water coming at you. I came across these. I believe these will be the solution I'm looking for. Of course I chose the wrong wknd (Below 0 not counting wind chill) to install. I felt, even below zero, that the installation process couldn't have been easier. Granted, yes I did make another two or three trips to Home Depot, but if I had experience I felt it would have taken maybe 20-30 minutes. It's January here tomorrow so I have not tried the hydrants yet, however I can see the good quality and smart design that I am pretty sure I'm not going to experience any issues with this product. Also kind of saddened that I didn't think of this product myself. Genius!
