Inline adjuster tool.

[Jimmer]

Well my reg collection has gotten high enough that I've decided manually adjusting my second stages is a PITA and I want an inline tool. I have 8 second stages, 4 Zeagle and 4 Oceanic. The Zeagle's uses a 3/16" hex, and the Oceanic's use the slot style to adjust. Is there an inline adjuster that handles both? I know the Peterbilt one did, but I apparently can't get that one anymore.

Thanks,
Jim

I noticed one sold on e-bay the other day for about 4 times the former peterbuilt price.

I am hoping whoever bought the majority of the peterbuilt assets gets them back in production soon.

DA, do you know of any others that work with both the hex and the slot?

Jimmer,

Go buy this tool and let me know what you think. ;-) $44 bucks seems a little steep for what you get. But you are right about it being a PITA to ...adjust, check, adjust again, check again.

The ad mentions "2 tips" but it won't hurt to ask the seller.

I would bet Luis or Herman could tell us how to make one...hint, hint.

Rumor has it that we have not seen the last of the Peterbuilt line. With patience it may all come back under new ownership. Just a rumor of course.

Couv, I just had a look in my Trident catalog and it looks like that one is a Trident product, but the catalog doesn't say anything about 2 tips. I'll have to pop into my shop and see if they can call the distributor and find out for me.

Somedays I wish I still worked in a machine shop. I work in a weld shop now, and I don't have the ability to make anything high precision anymore.

The trident tool and the one on e-bay both look like the first adjustment tool I owned. The slotted tip should have a flat ground in the shaft to let you put a wrench on it and screw it out of the lower half of the shaft. The slotted tip should have a similar flat on it to allow it to be screwed onto the lower half of the shaft.

The major difference between this tool and the Peterbuilt tool is that the peteruiolt tool allows more or less full flow rate, while the other tool allows full pressure but limited flow. The good news is that if the orifice is out of contact with the seat, you get only a mild freeflow rather than a large blast. The bad news is that it does not breath normally until you remove the tool. Both work they just work differently and have different advantages.

Good news. Scubatools.com will be back up and running soon. Same website same products.
A limited inventory to start with. But soon the full line will be available.
Thanks

This is soon like "pretty soon" rather than soon like "PST tanks will be available 'soon'". Right?

I sure hope so!
