Setting up regulator servicing bench

[Mr Carcharodon]

If I wanted a complete professional setup, for best efficiency,
A.I.R. Flow Analyzer, Four SpinOns, & Floating Wall Bracket Assy

If I understand correctly, it takes a low pressure source (e.g. from a common low PSI compressor) and it is able to duplicate any tank pressure I want, from 3000psi to 500psi?

I

Dual Drive Inline Adjusting Tool

Thanks in advance!

How is it that these expensive things enhance efficiency? For that matter are these found on most "professional" benches? A sink full of water, a ruler, a crescent wrench and a screw driver can get you pretty far. A tube of oxygen compatible, grease, a hook spanner and a pressure gauge are the only special items in my kit. Granted an in line tool could save you several minutes per first stage. That might seem necessary if you are doing 10 first stages per day but not so much if you are doing just a handful over the course of a year. Go get the Vance Harlow book and visit a shop or two and see what they use. For the low and high pressure sources those would be scuba tanks.

Probably you are right if you service only your own regulators or those of your dive business.

If you are planning to do professionally more or less nothing else but servicing regulators of Aqualung-Apeks, Scubapro-Subgear, Sherwood-Genesis, Mares, Cressi Sub, Tusa, Xs Scuba, Atomics, Oceanic and others you might consider to get yourself quite some special tools and professional equipment including a Flow Meter and a book which not only tells you how to do it, but how regulators work.

When I was just servicing my own stuff and the regulators of the dive ventures I was owning or managing, I was fine with the tools (and some more) you are mentioning.

Now working professionally on daily base on customers equipment I feel comfortable to be able to test my work with the means I have.

The easiest way to supply the HP Manager is from a HP scuba tank.

Thank you!
