The prices at HD and at a regional home improvement chain were about the same, approximately fourteen dollars each.

I am going to make a point of cleaning up some old gasket utility faucets which I pulled out of old work long ago. The only monetary investment will be the price for new gaskets. The cost saved is worth the time required to refurbish the faucets.
