Hydrants probably can't be opened with a slip joint, and det cord won't do it - the valve is oh, 4-6 ft under the ground, and it's NOT easy to turn.
I have a heavy duty hydrant wrench in my truck - the problem is that NYC is started using tamper proof hydrant valves. From what I understand they use some sort of magnetic wrench
