Has anyone encountered this? I use what I would consider normal hand pressure to tighten the yoke when putting on a fresh tank. However, at the end of the dive it takes all my strength and sometimes even tools to loosen the yoke. This just started happening over the last dozen or so dives. I have a couple hundred dives on this reg setup so it is not like I am unfamiliar with it. Yesterday the soft plastic knob finally stripped so I had to cut it off the threaded end allowing me to put a wrench on it to changes tanks. Does anyone know why this would be happening and how to avoid it? Also, can replacement knobs be found, a brief search did not reveal much out there.
Thanks, 'bob
