You do know that the Scuba Tool is how I got started in the business... that's my patent. I sold the company about 15 years ago.

To figure out what tools, I went around to every reg I could find and checked their port plugs, hose ends, etc. Then put on a few screwdrivers as they were necessary for old covers to be removed, and handy for other stuff, and then an o-ring pick.

It's been knocked off a bunch now... but that was a Larry original... and one I'm proud of!

So the open end wrenches are for different kind of regs (removing hoses etc), the 3 screw drivers were for odds/ends and removing face plates of older regs, the awl was for removing O-rings and the 2 hex keys are for removing plugs, did I get that right? I've had my eye on that tool for quite some time... Maybe I'll just put it on my next order! [img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]

Haha...yes Larry, I knew that's your invention. I only buy original authentic stuff. No bootleg or imitations.

So the wrenches and screwdrivers etc would fit any regs and hose fittings [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]? Well, that's handy!

Based on the bike tool model, it's hard to argue with it as an emergency tool. I just wish it include a bottle opener/corkscrew attachment!

One of those allen wrenches is the right size for adjusting the orifice in a Scubapro Air 2 (and the TUSA copy).

So Larry is the original Tool? Is that what I'm hearing here? Seriously though, I might have to get one, sounds pretty handy.

[img]smileys/smiley9.gif[/img] Size doesn't matter, it's how you use it. At least that what my wife assures me of.
