    No problems. The readings I got were well below the new ones. I just don't understand how plug(s) could not last any longer than these did. I'll see how it runs when I can get it in the water.

    Would this tubing not work on the standard o-ring tool to put it on the worm? Not sure why you need the spreading tool if it will just slide over the regular o-ring tool.
