Keychain Adjustable wrench Mod

[BryanX]

I needed a light weight wrench to switch my Regs between Backmount and Sidemount configeuration when I'm working/traveling. Didn't want the trouble borrowing from the dive shop everytime.
Every gram is precious when traveling. So the smallest adjustable I could find is this 100mm/4inch, it has a max of 14mm jaw, it fits the most sizes fitting of Scubapro hoses on the first stage side.
But just a tiny too small for the second stage hose fitting and the hose for my Apeks Reg's.

Noting can't be fixed with a little modification.
I used a dremel tool to cut an other groove to give the jaw a bigger opeing. Now it has a max of 17mm diameter which fits every fitting on my Regs.

A keychain size wrench, perfect to put in your save a dive kit.

Cheers.

I'm lazy and love the self-adjusting spanner. It says 13-16mm but the actual range is more like 11-17mm, works for all my hoses.

I bought this one on Amazon a while back. The jaws are thin to get into tight places but are strong. The overall length is 5" and it weighs 5 oz. It opens up to 1¼"/32mm. It has come in quite handy a few times.

I also have one of these. but sometimes the adjustable wrench is easier to get into some tight places, especially around the 1st stage, better than the multi tool. And the jaws of the adjustable are much stronger than the multi tool. But these do serve their purpose, especially when a screwdriver or allen wrench is needed.
