Tank Pressure Checker

[Bearded Diver]

I am looking at getting one of these so I don’t need to pull out my SPG all the time. My question is, what is your favored brand. They pretty much do the same thing, so I assume if it’s fancy/flashier that will cause the price to go up, but I want a heavy duty one, so I don’t mind if the suggestions are higher priced. Buy once and be done with it lol. Please only post items you have used, had positive reviews from friends as I want to know how well the build quality is. Thanks in advance

Given the cost of scuba gear, the cost of these is a drop in the bucket. I bought one ages ago that I still use. It’s probably 15 years old. No clue what brand. Most of these aren’t even branded. It’s just a simple tool. I get a lot of this stuff from Dive Gear Express. I probably got mine from them.

Mine looks a lot like this one:

DIN/Yoke, Oil filled gauge, with a replaceable bleeder seat. Not cheap, but nice. I've got others too from various sources. I like this one the best.

XS Scuba Standard Fill Checker

This easy-to-use XS Scuba Standard Fill Checker is designed for K valves only. It has a large 2.75"" (7cm) diameter, stainless steel case gauge which provides dual scale psi and bar. The large, stainle

I would suggest getting a DIN version. Easy to add yoke adaptor. Definitely worth shopping round: din-tank-pressure-checker

Oops, didn't realize I linked the yoke only version ..

I use the DGX one, works great and saves a ton of time.
Get a screw on cap when you order it, makes it easy to hang where I store my tanks.
Very handy gauge to have on hand.

I have the DGX, as well. Works great, easy to use. I agree with @NaCl H2O , get the cap and, if you have yoke valves, get an adapter.

DGX is my favorite. No bleed screw to fall out and get lost. Just twist the ring. Yoke, use adaptor.
