I'll go through each function individually and rate each part based on how it has performed for me so far. Although not a serious camper (I do brave the great British countryside every so often) I do a lot of DIY and general "tinkering" so a good knife is always useful. I'll go through each part individually to provide a detailed description of the knife's uses. 1. and 2. (small and large blades) Both of these blades are very sharp and sturdy with little flex in them. So far they have easily cut through all that I have asked of them, (paper, card, rope, wire, plastic) and the blades still remain as sharp as when I got it. Both of them come to a point which makes them... Read review

...in the streets and little cafes. If you are going to venture out into Tabernas though be prepared and take a phrase book with you! If you go into a shop they will try their best to speak english to you but bear in mind this isn't Lloret or Benidorm this is the proper real Spain and they are Spanish people, not all English ex pats!! That said, if you do want all that while you're here, you can just drive another half an hour or so down to mojacar playa and there the beach is lined with countless bars clubs, restaurants, souvenir shops etc and they're all geared to tourists. So I guess it's the best of both worlds really. You're really getting away from it all, ...but it's all there for you within reach if you still want it...! I cant recommend this place enough. Go and find out for yourself! Go against the grain a little bit and have a holiday... Read review

Advantages: Good design
Disadvantages: Stickey Valves

...I have been trying out the Tusa TR 400 Imperex for two weeks now. I have found it to be very good regulator. The valves seem to be of good quality. At first it worked perfectly and I thought I would never use another regulator. However on my fith dive with the Tusa TR 400 Imperex. As I reached the 40 meter mark the regulator got stuck in the open possition and was squerting out air. When I reached the surface and took the regulator to a reputable dive centre they informed me that the problem was that Tusa had fitted a faulty valve. He fixed the problem and the regulator has been fine since then. I don't think it's a common problem so I wouldn't worry about it.
