The Story Behind the Power Inflator Tool

Fathom Gemini MAV with the Power Inflator Tool alongside

When servicing a Fathom Gemini or MK-series rebreather, divers quickly find that the recessed inflator button design makes it difficult to remove or install the inflator cartridge with most common tools. This compact power inflator tool was created to solve that problem — simple, durable, and built to fit tight spaces without slipping or scratching.

Because Fathom uses a standard K-style BC inflator cartridge, the same tool works perfectly with many other inflator brands including Apeks, Hollis, Oxycheq, Dive Rite, and others. It can even be used with proprietary inflators from Aqualung, Cressi, Genesis, Mares, Oceanic, and ScubaPro — though those are typically meant for servicing by dive professionals or service centers.

Built for the Job

  • Precision-machined aluminum body — strong yet lightweight, ideal for travel and field use.
  • Stainless-steel pin with TPU sleeve — offers a comfortable, non-slip grip.
  • Compact design — fits easily in any save-a-dive kit or service pouch.
  • Assembled in the U.S.A. from foreign components.

Why Divers Use It

Inflator leaks or sticky buttons can end a dive day fast. Having the right tool on hand makes cartridge swaps and rebuilds quick and straightforward. Whether you’re maintaining a Fathom Gemini or a standard BC inflator, this tool gets the job done without fuss.
