HoseSplitter

Hose splitters can feed two hoses from one hose or spigot. Sadly, some have tiny little plastic valve knobs which are difficult to turn. Fortunately, these knobs can be extended with longer handles, which can be made from the (bent) wire handles of an ACCO binder clip, bent washers, and a longer attachment screw.

The unlabeled brass-and-plastic hose splitter (after modification) is shown here:

The bent wire handles provide a longer and easier to turn lever. Each handle is held in place with a bent washer (intended for a #10 machine screw) plus a longer screw that replaces the original screw that held the small plastic handle.

Here are the parts:
