I'm putting together a Scubatools order. I know working on Deep6 regs requires two #5 spanners and HOG D1 regs require two #6 spanners. Are there other regs which require duplicate hook spanners?

Maybe I should just buy two of their hook spanner sets to cover all possibilities #3 through #6. The sets include pins.
 
I can't answer your question, but best to search each manual and see what's needed.

I will say that the little allen screws tend to fall out on me. I wrapped them in teflon tape to be more secure and sometimes find that I need to adjust the height of the screw depending on what part I'm cranking on (some holes are more shallow than others).

Just my 2 cents.
 
A drop of blue Loc-Tite.

No, #5 & #6 are the only ones that need doubles. And 0.156" pins instead of the .140" that some of the manuals specify.

Sorry, but generic "Scuba tool sets" are an expensive rip-off.

EDIT: My apologies @Alaskan Scuba Dude .
Your link takes us to the general tool selection section, not to S-C-T's "tool set" nonsense, like this one here:
 
I can't imagine you can't get by with a single set.
But this from a guy who uses a shock absorber preload adjustment tool for a Harley Davidson on his regs.
