One? I ordered two.

(They'll go well with the DSS Hose Hats I'm always tossing around.)
 
I think Michael is stalking poor Tobin...:stalker:

Naaa, I just like to help and support gear that I feel is the best around.

Ohh brb... I see Tobin leaving.......

Tossing around hose hats!! Use those things, Tobin will make more. BTW, I love mine.

I have them on all my inflator hoses (except the drysuit hose, which has a really nice machined metal flange). I toss them to buddies and sometimes random divers I meet on the boats.

(Sadly, they don't fit on the mega-sized inflatopus integrated doohickeys, but hey, that's the price they pay for diving those. :biggrin:)
 
OK, I got mine. On Sunday (after setting our stages in the water) I went around to my two buddies and checked and tightened their valve nuts (doubles and argon bottles, so a total of 9 valves). Half of our valve nuts were loose! I didn't check our stages (2 stages each) because there were already in the water when I though of it. And sure enough (wouldn't you know it), I came up from the dive missing a knob on one of my stages!

Nice little tool, Tobin. Thanks so much. It will be a standard part of my pre-dive check for now on to check the valve nuts on my kit.

I heard ClayJar was ordering 12 of these and sending them to his fellow SB'ers. :D
