You should know that Omniswivel is the name of a company, not a product. They make lots and lots of different fittings, adapters, quick disconnects, manifold blocks, etc. That's like saying "I'm looking to buy 2 Scubapros."

Well on their website it said Standard OmniSwivel, so usually when you want the standard of something you omit the "standard". If I was looking for a special one I would have specified.

I am looking for a couple 360 OmniSwivel's that fit "normal" reg's.

Might be looking for a Scubapro too!

Scubapro is also a brand, and I've never heard of a standard scubapro.

I bought two of the $25 versions off of ScubaToyz and had good results with them. I now own 5 of the Cave Adventurers 360* swivels and have had great luck with them....I believe they're $25 a piece. The Omniswivel versions are very overpriced, and are mechanically identical to the ones I'm diving...except triple the cost.

You know I love people like you that have no sense of humour and nothing better to do than make pointless posts! Keep up the good work, you are making yourself look like a genius all on your own! Slow clap!

I may have to give CA a call and look at their swivels for that price. Thanks for the info.

There is a huge difference in quality between Omniswivel parts and the cheap Chinese made ones sold by places like Piranha. I have both, and have had several problems with the cheap second stage swivels. I'm not saying the price difference is worth it, but they are definitely not the same quality.

I read earlier threads from a few years ago about mechanical failure with these 360 swivels. There is a screw that has been referred to, somewhat unaffectionately, as the 'death screw.' I note that the folks who sold me these didn't use any such term while talking me into the purchase. I did buy two of the Standard OmniSwivel 360s, and the build quality appears good. Does anyone have any current information about the reliability of these today? Is the consensus that any problems have been solved?
