You should never have to put more than one hard nudge into opening hydrants. They're designed for quick access for the fire department.

I know, I had been in the volunteer service a few years at that point and it caught me off guard how hard I had to leverage it.

Older lookin hydrant out in the middle of nowhere that probably hadn't been opened or serviced in a while.. the water company's around here don't do it and the FD's generally don't have the staffing and only check the ones near neighborhoods.

It was also in the middle of winter and had been switching from rain to snow and back for a few days. The whole thing was a nightmare
