Question Preferred Second Stage In-Line Adjusting Tool for Deep 6 Second stages

[rvojr]

Has anyone had any success with the DGX or Piranha inline adjusting tool with gauge for second stage servicing of Deep 6 or should I stick with the Scuba Tools one? Thanks for your insight

The DGX tool is a copy of the Scubatools inline adjuster, but for $10 more (you don't need the gauge there) the Scubatools version is superior.

The Piranha is not balanced. It works, but you need to push to adjust each time. Manually switching tips between slotted and hex is a PITA. If you're on a budget and only doing an occasional second stage, it works. But so does disconnecting the hose and using an orifice tool.

Would an IP gauge on the inflator hose accomplish the same as having the gauge in front of the inline adjuster? Thank you!

That is how the big table mounted gauge sets work...

I use the DGX one, it works fine. It’s not a big deal to dismount the 2nd stages from the hose and just use an Allen wrench if you’re only doing personal regs.
