Keep up the good work Alec.
Thanks, will do!

I've done many tools to work on my regualtors, from holders to pushers and jigs and measuring instruments, it is a fun part of diving too.
Another tools I fight to have as much as possible is the company references to set correctly my regukators and test them adequately.
very good video
Thank you Jacques. There are tools and expensive tools, both work if you're smart about it.

I like it. I always pay attention when your teaching.
I appreciate that! You might actually pick up something new from this old guy.

Always love your simple informative vids. Nice 👌🏼. Thanks buddy
Glad you like them!

Hi Alec. The only caution I would give is that your tool locks up on the flat shoulder as opposed to the fine pitch bolts will lock up on the bottom of the taped threads possibly damaging them, you could also just buy a fine pitch nut too and use that to lock into place. You mentioned all but one regulator are standard threads, I assume you mean the aquamatic but you could also be referring to the legacy which uses 7/16" and 1/2" (20) for the ports. Thankfully I have a tool box full of scuba hose adaptors. Take care Owen m
Didn't want to be negative about the non-standard maker, just to let divers know it's not 100% universal on the threads. Take care Owen.

Nice tip, thanks for the heads up
No problem 👍

thank for de tips😄😉
Welcome 😊

Cant wait to see aqualung lagend reg servicing.. 😅
You and me both!
@@AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunter 🤣😂🤣😂
Is there any risk a hardware store bolt will be harder than brass and potentially damage the first stage threads?
A hardware bolt is absolutely harder than a brass service tool, BUT, hand tight is all you need to hold it in place. At most, a very slight wrench tighten for a really solid grip. Otherwise, hand tight works for me.

Good afternoon! Tell me please, maybe you have a video of service regulator scuba pro MK2, and mk 10. Please share me. Sincerely, Bogdan.
Sorry, no Bogdan. I don't do detailed service videos as I no longer have access to parts and tools. Retired 6 years ago and loving it.

@@AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunter thank you anyway, good luck!
As a new diver, but mechanically capable and cautious, I fancy doing my own services, not least because I have trust issues! However I'm cautious of missing something that an experienced service tech will spot. The process of stripping and rebuilding seems easy (especially with instructions and the appropriate kit of parts) but do rebuild kits come with things like torque settings, check measurements etc? (Apeks MTX-R full reg set, if it matters)
The kits come with no information at all. The service manual has some, including torque specs. Harder to find than the kits but possible, especially for apeks. Not all tricks and precautions are in that either though.
I highly recommend getting a Hog regulator and taking the certification course. It will open your eyes to a ton you couldn't have imagined. Most manufacturers have their service specs on line, You will need them as there are no instructions or specs with kits.
@@nicfab1 thanks, I'll have a dig about for the manuals and see if I'm confident in the content. I'll reassess before buying a kit 😂
Its no rocket science with the manual. But you need some special tools more then the holder. Especially for calibration at the end of the service. Be aware to use softer tools than the crome coating for picking the o-rings off. If you have a scratch in the surface, the part becomes trash.
@@TauchEin tempting me to just pay for someone to do it right. It goes against all my natural instincts (never paid anyone to do anything!) but I am not sure its worth the risk. Apeks manuals covered in "must only be serviced by factory trained tech" warnings of course.
Don't under estimate your tips, every little bit helps...
Thank you for that.
