Multi-tasking Bike Tools

So, I’ve got one of those PUR faucet mounted water filters. I always struggle with replacing the filter as there’s really no good way to get a grip on the rounded, perpetually wet (thanks to my dripping faucet) front part that unscrews. Today I had to replace the filter and couldn’t budge the cover. Suddenly inspiration struck.
What about the one pronged end of my Park Tool HCW-5 (1 and 3 prong hook spanner)?
Sure enough, the prong fit perfectly into the water outlet, effortlessly unscrewing (and then re-tightening) the cover as if it were designed with this purpose in mind.
So there you have it. If you have a PUR faucet-mount like mine, a hook spanner will make child’s play of changing the filter.
