First Stage Handle, Heavy Duty, Brass

First Stage Handles - Heavy Duty The Scuba Tools First Stage Handles are designed to be used in conjunction with all diving industry first stages. When this tool is threaded into a HP or LP port, it forms a solid handle allowing easy removal/replacement of yoke nuts, piston caps, and swivel retainers. The stainless steel cross tee provides a leverage point for tightening and loosening the handle. The threaded ends are stainless steel, socket, set screws which can be replaced if damaged. There are two first stage handle models available: The Heavy Duty model is designed for the rigors of daily use on the repair bench. The flats in the center portion allow the handle to be captured in a bench vise to form an assembly post. This eliminates the necessity of clamping the regulator or regulator parts directly in the vise.
