Well how dumb am I? (Do not DARE!)
For years I have been somewhat nonplussed by the term "radiator Key" in that there is no such thing for a car radiator down here.
Central heating radiator................
Not much call for them in a sunburned land aye.
Old Dears and far away strange places.
Love it!

Sorry Alex if it read that way, Nudge is right, that's what I was trying to say!
Every British member or guest will have learnt something useful from you, thanks.

I'm forming an uncomfortable mental picture of you Tam, wearing sport socks & lycra, up there in the snow!
That's why Hadrian built that wall, perhaps King Trump is right, I can see the Mexicans thinking their wall might be a very good idea & well worth paying for!

For those of you who have had their air conditioner units running from 7 Am to 11Pm everyday since the beginning of November,
a radiator key in its natural element.

I made mine out of an old length of seagull water pipe. Bent to a 90 degree so you can grab hold of it. The business end squeezed in a vice so that it's now a square end that fits over the jets.
Works a treat and cost me nothing but 30 minutes of my time to make. It's long reach too, which is where some of these "radiator keys" can fall a tad short.
Had i gone to my local poundland it probably would have cost me more in petrol there and back. But i'm just a tight old git.
If i can make what i need then i generally do. Recycle and re-use with whatever comes to hand.

I made mine by driving a small copper pipe onto the square tang of a small triangular file, then bending the other end to form a handle.
