All in one gear maintenance tools

[Sbiriguda]

I leave all the important maintenance to professionals (I don't feel confident enough to perform regs check myself). But sometimes there is "easy" maintenance to be done on the spot by the divers themselves, let me say like tightening a nut on a reg or similar. What sort of tools are useful?

I have found this all in one tools on the aliexpress

Thanks

Grab all three they all have some uses and the other one put them on your keys so as not to misplace them

Going by the looks of some of the regulators I've seen over the years I believe the primary tools for DIY service are a pipe wrench, vice grips, a small flat head screwdriver, and a hammer.

I have one of the tools you're talking about and personally I found the wrenches to be too thin and the opening oversized. They didn't seem to have enough bearing surface to feel steady when any type of torque was applied. On the plus side I managed to stab my self a couple times with the fancy o-ring spike. Like my wife always says...It's not a project until there's blood (mine).

Honestly a quality adjustable wrench, a brass or plastic o-ring pick, and an allen wrench that fits your port plugs will cover 99% of what you want to do.

A hammer is always good for fixing things though.

Have fun.

I am watching some videos by Alec Peirce

He shows how to replace the tank o-ring WITHOUT any pick

The he shows how to replace a hose o-ring. He recommends to use only a brass o-ring pick, only BRASS. Picks of any other material can potentially scratch the metal (this is what he says)

In the same video he uses an o-ring installer (minute 10 of the video)

Black and blue are actually the same, but the pictures are specular. The only difference besides the colour is the shape of the frame.

Are you sure the quality of the metal is high enough on AliExpress? Keep in mind that anti-corrosion properties must be good for this kind of tools...

Yes I am aware these tools are not really good

A couple open enders, a brass pick, an Allens set, is what you need. These multi tools are not very good , fit is terrible.
