I'm pretty sure mine and my usual buddy's are different (Zeagle vs. Atomic vs. Edge), which makes me think there may be no standard size(s). What type of regs do you have?

I do have the Edge fitting/wrench sizes on file that I could dig out (I measured them last year, when I had the regs in my possession for storage, and my bud wanted to buy tools for them). The Edge and HOG regs are are made by the same company, but I don't know that they are the same, fitting-size-wise. If someone else knows this, I would be happy to look up the Edge data and post it. I'll keep an eye on the thread.

I have Zeagle and I think they are metric 14mm and 16mm. I maybe wrong its been a while. There is not a standard. A cresent wrench is a good bet and a scuba tool that fits your reg kit.

I've found that the hose fitting size varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. An inflator hose might be a different size from the second stage hose from the SPG hose etc. For that reason, I keep an adjustable wrench in my tool kit for removing and installing hoses.

Another note: There are some connections where you need to use two wrenches at the same time (one to hold one side to take the strain off while the other turns the other side). Also, I found it helpful to have "thin" wrenches, although I was able to work with just the "normal" tools I have on hand before I had access to the thin wrenches.

Adjustable wrenches are invaluable. Hog recommends a pair of thin adjustables for doing the service. I found the recommended ones.$ 37 each OR I am fortunate enough to have a nice bridgeport mill and a set of end mils to make my own. So its off to sears and for less than 20 bucks I'm set.
