Valve Knob Retainer Tool

Description

Taking a handwheel off a cylinder valve with pliers usually chews the retainer and scars the knob, which is why workshops keep a proper key for it. This Tecline tool is a flat steel plate with shaped cut-outs that engage the knob retainer, made for removing and tightening the valve knob when a cylinder valve is serviced. A technician carrying out a visual inspection can strip and refit the handwheel without damaging it. A club that maintains its own cylinder fleet under a qualified member gets the correct tool rather than an improvised one. A diver changing a knob for a colour-coded nitrox marker can do it cleanly at the workshop bench. It does not replace the valve maker's service procedure. It suits a technician or club workshop that services cylinder valves.
