APEKS tools

[Denis Finnegan]

Hi I just completed some online service training and will be working on the shop doing servicing I want to have my own tool kit, where can you buy specific tools like in-line adjustment tool, and the specific pin spanner needed?

Thanks, Denis

There's an outfit in Thailand that can source all Apeks tool, that's where I got mine from, PM me if you want more info.

I suggest you get 2 of the spanners since the environmental caps can sometimes get stuck on the diaphragm retaining ring. The pin spanner from Apeks has a bit of a sharp corner which may mar the chrome. I prefer one of the adjustable Stanley Proto (http://www.stanleyproto.com/default.asp?CATEGORY=SPANNER&TYPE=PRODUCT&PARTNUMBER=JC491&strSiteName=PROTO&strDefaultCatalog=PROTO&SDesc=3%2F4%26quot%3B+To+2%26quot%3B+Adjustable+Pin+Spanner+Wrench).

I use an adjustable pin spanner to remove environmental dry covers.

You'll also want the cover key, as some of those REALLY get wrenched on there.

The other tool is the inline volcano orifice adjuster for the 2nd stage. We use this one, it is godly : Dual Drive Inline Adjusting Tool

is this for all 2nd stages...also XTX50?

The inline orifice adjuster works for lots of 2nd stages not just Apeks. Not necessary but very convenient.
I prefer a soft silicone tool to remove the 2nd stage cover which will work for most 2nd stages. The keys are model specific.

Apeks special valve seat "polisher".
As a technician you will come across a doggy one soon or later.
