Concerning Aleks question-- As to statements that the hole is generally too big for this to work, one must check the size of the hole before judging the size without seeing it. Disassemble the lever style key and look at the size of the hole. Compare it to the hole in the barrel of the Amado water key. The rest has been discussed.
It is also possible to drill a hole through the middle of the piston of the Amado water key and thread a string through it to use with your left hand thumb- just like the Holton water keys.
