Tecline's O-Ring Tool Kit consists of precision tools (commonly called "picks") specifically designed for removing and installing seals in regulators and other diving equipment. These tools are indispensable for working in tight or deep spaces without damaging metal surfaces.
Key features:
Material: Made of high-quality stainless steel to prevent corrosion and ensure the rigidity needed during use.
Tip Design: The set includes various tips (angled, hooked, or curved) designed to engage O-rings from different angles.
Handle: Ergonomic or knurled handle to provide a secure grip and millimeter-level control, essential for not scratching the O-ring seats (which would compromise the watertight seal).
Versatility: Ideal for the maintenance of first stages, second stages, cylinder valves, and HP/LP hose connections.
Benefits of use:
-
Precision: Allows for easy extraction of old or encrusted seals.
-
Component Safety: Unlike improvised tools (such as screwdrivers), the shape of the tips is optimized to minimize the risk of marking the chrome-plated brass or aluminum of diving components.
Technical Note: During use, it is recommended to act gently. Even though they are made of steel, excessive pressure on the O-ring seat can create micro-grooves that would cause persistent air leaks.
