SOLVED Tool for shutting off water supply at meter

[Halloway]

** Please ignore - have found the correct tool **

Hi,

I need to turn off the water supply at the meter. I need a tool to do this which is a two-pronged key/wrench with a handle which will reach the shutoff valve. I've googled in vain for such a tool - can anyone point me in the right direction of such a thing (or even supply some dimensions so I can make on out of wood!)

Ah, think I might have found one:

Is this what I need?

The Screwfix item should turn off a normal 'T' handle stoptap. Be careful though if the valve is stiff, too much force and you'll snap it off....

if its out side meter then that wount do it as hex key
if internal then a standard stop tap does the job
