Hey before I invest in the Bio tank lock, is it worth investing $50.00 in? Does it really work?

If you are an able-bodied person, it is simply a gadget. However, if you have arthritis or musculo-skeletal problems, it is a really beneficial gadget. It works as advertised. That is, it takes fairly minimal finger pressure to twist the knob, tightening the belt to the maximum needed. I don't have it; my wife does, as does a next door neighbor with severe arthritis in her hands and fingers.

Don't know what you are referring to. It's very easy to adjust when switching to a different diameter tank. If there is a problem, it actually relates to that ease. My one complaint with my wife's biolock is that too much play develops in the webbing. I don't believe it is a problem of the mechanism, but rather of the softness of the webbing used for the tank strap. It either stretches or slips (or both) too easily and must be re-adjusted every 8-10 dives. However, I think the mechanism now ships with a strap made of stiffer webbing which would solve that problem. Check it out.
