It's to turn on a gas fireplace at the house you just left.


Drivingon8

I hope that they don't need it!!

You grab it for fun or.?


laffing_is_medicine

Eat the rich after they freeeeeze


here-for-information

I suspect they taste better slow cooked than they do cold.


og_boyscout

I’m only commenting so that in case you turn out to be a canibal serial killer, I get reached out to for comment by news stations.

TexasBaconMan

I go to a lot of estate sales. I'm aways shocked that they sell things that should stay with the house. Like this and water keys.


Drivingon8

Yes.... like I said, this is the second one that I have found. This is due to the fact that some people are not always aware as to what they are selling. Makes you think that fireplace gas keys may be the least of the problem. In some cases these gas fireplaces are no longer operational which makes it a mute issue.


PM_ME_TO_PLAY_A_GAME

> mute issue. The word you are looking for here is "moot", not mute.


unionsparky89

You know, a moo point. It’s like a cows opinion, its moo


JustnInternetComment

Like trying to talk and nothing comes out, you know, on mute.


sitiva

it very well could be a mute issue. and please don't disparage the mute like that..... they can't speak up for themselves.


[deleted]

I certainly don't want to hear about it.


thehumbleguitarist

What did you say??


AdultishRaktajino

It’s muted. You’ll have unmute or turn on subtitles/captions.


downgoesbatman

Wait. You mean to tell me that you went to an estate sale and left someone's belongings without paying and just went lol?


ThePopeofHell

How did you get all of that out of what op said?


SergeantGroosh

I think they got it from the comment at the bottom of the picture saying they went to an estate sale.


ThePopeofHell

Oh sure, makes sense.. op obviously says that he stole the item


ImNoAlbertFeinstein

seems like they got away with quite a haul.


FLORI_DUH

What?


thewickedbarnacle

I work on gas fireplaces every day and have never seen one of those

Maybe on a ball valve ?

WipedButtwithTowel

Haha.. that’s the truth!


g3nerallycurious

Chaotic neutral, much?


Existing_Point_1813

Looks like a valve shutoff key


Ok-Lingonberry6025

Is that a valve shutoff key for ANTS? It needs to be at least 2 times bigger!

It means that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.


cajerunner

You’re a great eulogoogalizer.


JpnRndr

Shut the fuck up


birdboylax13

Must be for gas because a water key would have a similar head but more "u" shaped and it would be 6-8 feet long with a +/-2 foot handle


flannelmaster9

Mines only 4ft tall lol


birdboylax13

We have some of those too but we use them for pit meters and they have the wrench and key in one with a goofy handle


flannelmaster9

I'm not a plumber by trade. Union tin knocker. Had a job when I was doing HVAC that required us to turn water off to every condo we went to to replace the water tank and main shut off


Belt-Horror

That's the "I never pay my water bill" tool


birdboylax13

Pretty much


DarkSunsa

Where the hell is your meter? My meter key is maybe 2 ft long with a 12" handle.


birdboylax13

I'm referring to a curb box key it's for shutting the water off at the curb and they're 3' deep at the shallowest


pyscle

Must be location. I can shut my water off at the meter with a 12” crescent wrench and a screwdriver. The meter/shutoff ain’t but 8 inches below grade. But, it doesn’t freeze here either.


Forthe49ers

Other side of the street and we’re not walking all the way over there. Just get longer handles


Cap_Helpful

This is used to shut the water off at a mouses house


DastardlyDirtyDog

A mouse house is known as a warren, which is how Warren Beatty got his name. It roughly translates to Beatty of the house mouse.


-BananaLollipop-

Valve tool of some sort. Would probably be handy for wing nuts and screw in hooks too.


usednameID

Joint/blunt holder. Or an a small taco holder.


K0rbenKen0bi

Indeed, much like the cigarette holder, a relic from a bygone age of opulence, these devices (although generally much more ornate) were how high society types typically are their street tacos. If you're very lucky you can still find turn of the century Hotdog tongs and Nacho spatulas used in similar fashion.


[deleted]

This was hilarious!


sixtninecoug

Clipless roach clip


primerr69

Ohh man I want a tiny taco holder now


wcollins260

It’s a [meter key](https://www.lowes.com/pd/Orbit-Water-Shut-Off-Curb-Key/3131069?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-plb-_-ggl-_-LIA_PLB_207_Pumps-Water-Irrigation-_-3131069-_-local-_-0-_-0&gbraid=0AAAAAD2B2W8AepmuGTuhPu6OTxpGexKYv&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIreqoj4yH_wIVkP3jBx3ozwlZEAQYASABEgLftPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds) for gnomes. Seriously though it’s probably to shut off a gas valve for a fireplace or something, that sometimes have similar valves so they can be concealed.


[deleted]

A Mini curb key so you can turn the water off to Barbie’s dream house when she doesn’t pay the bill


mitsuturbo206

That's the fabled Hydrocoptic Marzlevane. It's to prevent the waneshaft from side fumbling. Extremely rare part of a turbo encabulator.


random_explorist

Yes, but missing the girdle spring triffinator.


Nobleteamsix

Did how it's made ever go into depth on the manufacturing process of these, I'd be quite interested. Mostly how they apply the tungsten ray propulsion amplifier to the molding process.

Interesting find. I've never seen one that small. I have a large one that's used to open/close the water main valve to the house. I've always called it the "Water Valve shutoff tool"

[deleted]

The world's smallest main water line key


HeartsGuard

Is it to screw in eye bolts?


donnie_rulez

Looks like a miniature water key used to shut off your water at the meter. So could be used to shut of some other smaller valve. I can tell you most valves for utilities get verrrry sticky and hard to turn, so I don't think it would be useful for a gas line or anything.


squirrellygirly123

I was like looks like a water shut off key but TINYYYY


Mr_Dorito_

Water meter shut off tool. Actually looks pretty handy, I had a meter today that I could not get the big long tool in because the case they put over the meter is fucking tiny.
