Default Brass garden hose nozzles and brass on/off switches (and missing o-rings)

By the way, I went to ACE today and picked up "their" rendition of
the almost 100% brass garden hose shutoff valve:

Like the Home Depot garden hose valve, it had a black
material where you'd rather have brass; but, for the
extra dollar, it had a "two finger" shutoff valve, instead
of the one-finger shut off valve of the Home Depot variety.

Presumably you can apply more force to this shutoff valve
when it starts to get sticky ...

You can get replacement handles that are longer. If you pull the new
handle off and look at the end of the stem so you can match it.
