Tank Equalizer for $2.50

An LDS near me has an annual sale where they're sold for $100 (with valve and fill) brand new.

*this is my shocked face* I gotta retire and move closer!

Maybe it's a "loss leader". I dunno, but there is always a line around the building when that sale opens. They also sell camping and fishing and shooting stuff, all of which has deals to be had at the sale. I have to admit, the sale brings me in every year despite not really needing anything.

Won't call your purchase a "deal", but you didn't get raped either.

Naughty or nice?

I would never pigeon hole you like that. I gots room for naughty people, nice people, heck especially those folks that can flip between the two as needed!

your other contribution on my list

@kelemvor if they buy a pallet at once to replace their whole rental fleet, it makes the cost per tank lower. really the only cost would be 20 bucks for the hydro after 5 years.

This is what I did. Found a bag of 10 fittings online for less than $5, if memory serves. A little slow, but so damned handy.

If you can find a welding supplier, they will often put a fill in the tank before returning it to you. Then you avoid the empty tank issues that others have noted. And that part is real, many dive shops won't fill an empty tank without a new VIP.

Edit: A welding supplier that does hydros.

A lot of fire extinguisher companies do hydros because their extinguishers have to be hydroed. The OP can ask if they also do scuba tanks, the local one here does.
