Just curious as to what others carry in their spare parts kits. I typically have a set or two of O-rings (for tanks, hoses, reg. plugs, etc.), spare high and low pressure hose, suit repair items, tools, ziper wax stick, silicone grease, spare fin straps, and extra de-fog.

I was wondering where you can get the brass O-ring tool. I've looked for one for years.
Also, if you've got box end wrenches or a Crescent you need narrow ones. Regular Craftsman or Challengers are too wide to fit on some fittings and can scratch your chrome plate.

Hadn't considered the Double-Bubble, better go get some, is it a right or left handed release on the wrapper??

For thin wrenches I use cone wrenches that I use on my bicycles. They are only about a an 1/8" thick and come in all metric sizes.
That's a good tip! Thanks!
Any ideas about the brass O-ring tool?
