Tool Kit?

[Ninelinegoby]

im look for advice.... I'm looking for a tool set or kit for when I travel. Should I get one of the all in one sets or just make my own. Some open ended wrenched, Allen wrenches, ect.

what regulators do you have, and what are you comfortable doing?

a pair of small/thin adjustable wrenches, a set of metric and imperial allen keys, and an O-ring pick will allow you to do damn near everything on a regulator set. Add in a tank valve tool like the one from Deep Sea Supply and you can fix most of the things on the tank valves as well. Very small, and lightweight. Add in an adjustable pin spanner, some lube, and an IP gauge, and you can fully rebuild the Apeks style first and second stages

For save a dive kit, I have this one.

But I also like the looks of this one
Innovative Diver Tool and Repair Kit

You can certainly do individual tools but I like these as a small organized kit with case. Good for travel and I even throw it into my dive bag for boat trips.

I'll second this advice. When I travel I'll usually take an adjustable wrench (or two), allen keys, a screwdriver and one of those o-ring sets with in a mini scuba tank with a pick. For local diving I add in a set of needle nose pliers, diagonal cutters and a few other things in a drybox with batteries, zip ties, IP gauge, etc.

I have one that is essentially the innovative tool kit. I have added things to it as needed over the years, but that kit is a great starting point.

Just a word of caution if you build your own, you should check the TSA restrictions or be certain to pack it in your checked baggage. I lost a couple of wrenches to TSA because they were to long and packed in my backpack.
