I replaced the gaskets in this faucet last season, but found a new very small leak at the threads this year. I turned the water main off, took the faucet head off, and inspected the threads. Not in perfect shape, and the plumbers tape was hanging on by a thread. So I took the old tape off and replaced it with an even layer of new tape. Good as new! It may be prudent to rethread the pipe in the future, but for now this will do as we have a large water leak hiding underground in the house main to find and repair.
