VIDEO: Water Bandit + Silcock Key

I've come across references to using silcock keys to access potable water after a disaster, but this video discusses using it for something more mundane: filling a low radiator/water reservoir on your car if you are on a long trip. The silcock key is used to open a faucet. The other device mentioned--the water bandit--allows you to connect a garden hose to the faucet if it doesn't have threading to connect a hose. The author also recommends taking along a coiled garden hose (it being pointless to have the key or the Water Bandit if you can't get the water into your radiator) and Stop Leak to fix small radiator leaks.
