Ever drop a tank?

I cannot swear these are the right thread for tanks, but I picked up a pair of thread protectors that look just like this from Home Depot in the faucet hardware area:

For that price, why not spend a few bucks more for a thread protector that covers the threads and the output valve?

From what? Debris? People used to glue dimes into them if you're that worried about it. I've never seen a paintball-marketed product as durable as these.

Dirt and debris. I think that would be immediately obvious. I've cleaned out more than enough macro fittings that had a fine coating of grime. All that grit in regulators has to come from somehwere. Why add more if you don't have to? Gluing dimes? Fucking Lulz.

Me and a few of the guys in the office all play on the same "team" and bring out markers in the next day to clean during lunch. One day my co-worker and i were wrapping everything up and i put put my tank on the table to grab the thread protector. well the tank started to roll and we just noticed it as it crossed the event horizon at the edge of the table. Neither of us saw it hit the floor; we both dove for cover as if someone tossed a grenade in the room. lol

landed reg down and messed up the seat just like the OP.
