What tools would you have with you?

[Garth]

List some tools that you would carry with you in case of you find a problem with your dive equipment. Include sizes if possible. I know there are kits that have a variety of tools in them but what are some of the must have tools.


About me.
I'm diving with aqualung regulators fitted for DIN, and tanks fitted for DIN.

I did a search and didn't find a similar thread but if there is one let me know please. thanks

IP guage, second stage adjustment tool, hook spanners, wrenches, needle nose pliers, snap ring pliers with multiple jaws, christolube, zip ties out the yin yang, assortment of orings, extra spg, and an extra first and second stage service kit. That's part of what I carry now on local dives.

I carry a scuba multitool, a good o-ring pick, additional allen wrenches for din, and soft jaw pliers for those damn Scubapro knurled hose connectors. I'll do some minor repairs and replace easily accessible o-rings but any serious repairs are done after I get home. I do carry a complete spare regulator on all dive trips.

In addition to the usual small tools like allen wrenches, and a LeatherMan style set of pliers, oring picks, etc.

I have a large needle and a bobbin of 138 nylon thread, very handy for exposure suit repairs etc. I used this a lot, even to sew up dive bags, failing gloves etc.

I have a short handled, large jaw opening adjustable wrench. Handy for removing din plugs in tank valves.

A lighter, and some scraps of #24 braided line

Bungee, ~ 3 ft of 1/4", 3 ft of 3/16, 3 ft of 5/32.

Spare mask strap, spare "universal" fin strap

Spare reg mouth piece.

Ip gauge

Tools and orings to rebuild power inflators

A bit of silicone grease in a tiny zip lock bag, and a bit of Cristolube in a tiny zip lock bag.

Butane powered soldering Iron and solder and heat shrink tube for working on can lights and other electronics.

I've had various "tool kits" that I take with me diving. Eventually stuff I never used got moved out and this is what I now have:

1 Ikea allen wrench which fits the plugs in a regulator
1 allen wrench that fits the plug in an INT insert
1 swiss army knife
1 small adjustable wrench
1 tiny screwdriver from a set of screwdrivers intended for fixing glasses. This is used for pulling O-rings from tanks
1 multi-tool which is mostly intended for the pliers.
a lighter

In terms of spare parts.

o-rings (duh)
tie-wraps (duh)
mouth pieces
rubber bands
about 2 metres of bungee
nylon line
a spare mask strap
a spare fin strap
a bicycle repair kit for the drysuit (trips only)
aquasure
I'm probably forgetting something

All of this fits in a surprisingly small package.

Thank you all for helping to add to my dive bag. Although I may not know how to work on my gear completely at least if I have most of the things you all list my dive buddy may be able to fix what I need. Thanks a bunch

The single most useful item I carry is a ... I'm not sure what it is called ... but one end fits on the inflator hose fitting from the first stage and the other end fits the valve stem on a car tire. It enables you to inflate a flat tire while in the middle of nowhere (at least when you have a scuba tank and regulator with you).
