beautiful, but thickness is unforgiving
By Suzanne Lichter
I ordered two of these as I have three indoor fireplaces, all of which require a ridiculously long key and one of which is right on top of the brick hearth. This key has too big of a handle and too thick of a shaft to be able to turn on the one where it sits directly on the hearth. The thickness at the other end was too much for it to completely engage in another fireplace. So, I could only use one. I do have an outdoor fireplace under construction that could use the second, so I'm waiting to see if it will work there. These are beautiful, well-constructed keys - just so substantial that it interferes with the function for my high maintenance fireplaces. Hoping not to have to return it.

Not 15 inches
By PC
I needed something that would reach 13 inches. This would have been perfect if the stem was 15 inches. The piece is 15 inches long (including the 3 inch handle)

Doesn't Fit Standard Gas Log Valves
By G. Christy
This product does NOT fit 1/4" valve stems for gas log valves even though the product description says so and the design intends so.
I bought this product because I had built a decorative stone gas log fire pit for a customer and needed a longer key to control the gas valve inside the fire pit. 15" was perfect and the wrought iron gave it a rustic look that fit well with the outdoor area we had just completed. I purchased one key and it arrived quickly and looked great. To my dismay, the key didn't fit the 1/4" valve stem on my gas valve. This is a standard 3/4" gas log valve sold by BlueFlame.
At first I thought there was a problem where the powder coat had reduced the size of the opening. I took a fine file and pushed back the powder coat on the inside of the 1/4" portion of the opening. It still didn't work. I then thought that it was simply a manufacturing problem and returned the key and asked for a replacement. Well the replacement doesn't fit either so there is something wrong with the manufacturing process. I don't know about the 5/16" portion but a quick measurement against the smaller, supplied key shows that opening to be much larger than 5/16".
I'm disappointed as I've had to go to a longer 24" key to reach the valve but it is at least 10" too long and has to be removed after adjustment lest somebody trip over it while walking by. This product would have been perfect had it fit
