    Pilot driver had it.

    This particular one has been modified (very well). But I'm pretty much looking for the one with the hole to open the valve. I have two of the smaller sized ones.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I have seen those too. Without the two posts welded on. I would try a plumbing supply store. I guess it would help a lot if we knew what those wrenches are called. Maybe somebody here knows and will share it.

    Looks like its just a valve handle that's been removed.

    You can use a crescent or pipe wrench too

    Can you guess what the two posts are for?

    Nope. It grabs the lip on the fitting and turns it loose or tightens. One post on the inside lip and one on the outside.

    Nifty.

    I was thinking maybe its for using a pry bar for extra leverage in opening stuck valves, but I'm not a tanker driver, so I'm probably wrong.

    On second thought you could probably use those posts to pry open a cam lock on the hose.

    OK, I use a small pipe wrench for that. You mean a threaded fitting right?
