Adrift in a Sea of Gadgets: Wheeled Scuba Tank Boot
The WSTB is like any tank boot with the addition of wheels and a small storage compartment. "Wheels?" you ask. Yes, big 'ol off-roading wheels. Think about a long day diving Casino Point as you lug your third tank from the filling station. Maybe some shore diving at Sunset House as you man-handle your wife's two tanks then go back for your own. Those wheels don't sound so bad, do they?
But does it work? Two brief customer reviews were positive but warned "[The] tank is unstable with a BCD attached that has integrated weights. It wants to roll over due to the wheels." Another stated facing the wheels backward for the best fit over your BC.
I was hoping the manufacturer's web site would have more information but it appears they're only selling through discount Internet retailers such as Overstock.com. In July, ScubaRadio was promoting a contest (through Overstock.com) for a more interesting product name and I guess no one was a winner since the product name hasn't changed.
The Wheeled Scuba Tank Boot (yawn) retails for $100, can be yours for less than $60, and still seems expensive. Anyone use this thing?
