City water and fresh water hex end wrench -Amazon


Recommended Posts

An Oliver owner on the Olive Facebook page passed on his purchase of this 1/2” hex head wrench off of Amazon. It’s used to tighten the city and fresh water fittings on the Oliver and its compact, easily storable, space saver, works perfectly. My city water fitting was loose, and not anymore.

I feel like this was a little expensive for this tool and had trouble locating it anywhere else. Lowes, HD and even our local hardware had nothing in available. You may want to shop it for a cheaper price. It’s also a good time to check both your city and fresh inlet water screens.

In a pinch I've also used a bolt with a hex head on it that's the right size before.  I clamped the bolt on the threads with a pair of vice grips or something and then you can use the bolt head as a hex wrench.  🙂

There is no need to buy an L shaped wrench, just get a square drive bit and use your 1/2' breaker bar, Oliver even includes a bar in the spares kit for the wheel nuts.

Mine have never loosened, and I don't plan to buy a tool for the trailer kit for what might never happen. You can pick up a square bit like that in any auto parts store if you need it while traveling. I do have a full SAE/ Metric set of square drive bits at home. For about $40 you can have them all. These are not pro grade, but they are fine for casual use.

Great suggestion, necessity is the mother of invention! 😊 👍🏻👍🏻

One of my hose fittings  came unscrewed during a campsite setup.  I didn’t have the tool on hand so I hand tightened as best I could.   I found the 2018 post and ordered this socket on Amazon (same as recommended  by @ScubaRX above).

Another use for the Oliver supplied 1/2” breaker bar is a socket for removing the water heater anode from the standard Suburban water heater.
