A closer look
Cylinder maintenance · Handmade
Two stainless-steel whips for cleaning the inside of a scuba cylinder: the standard one for the bottom and walls, the reverse one for the neck. Handmade by a diver, fits any power drill.
Why DécapBloc
Stainless steel strands remove corrosion without contaminating the cylinder.
The steel shaft has a protective coating, so the cylinder thread stays safe.
Fits any power drill or cordless drill. Nothing else to buy.
Designed and built by a diver, because shop-bought whips were overpriced.
The range
The standard whip cannot reach the neck; the reverse whip cannot reach the bottom. A full clean takes both.
The price
Tank cleaning whips sold online cost €98 to €200 each. For the pair, expect €240 to €400.
Public prices seen online across a dozen specialist retailers.

In use
« I have been using it for a short while and I am very happy with it, especially for the price: the full kit costs less than a single whip elsewhere. And Olivier is approachable and friendly; you can tell a diver built this tool for himself before selling it. »

FAQ

Any power or cordless drill with a 13 mm chuck, set to 1,000 rpm maximum.
The steel shaft is coated along the section that passes through the neck, precisely to protect the thread.
