Ang Wei Jie –
Easy to install on my BCD and works fine so far. The buttons are comfortable to use even with thick gloves. Only minor thing is the inflation button feels a bit stiffer than my old one.

Very solid construction and no leaks after several dives. Much easier to control than my last inflator head. Might get another as a backup.
