I got to looking at my scuba tank and neglected to mention the need for a regulator in my earlier post. Since I already had that stuff on my tank, that inflater was just a few more dollars and a non-issue for me, but those regulators don’t come cheap. A regulator meters the 3,000 psi down to something usable and consistent as the tank pressure goes down.

My other auto is a .45

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
