For those of you like myself who needs their air tanks hyrdo tested and live in Minnesota/Twin Cities area, There is a Place in Minneapolis that Hydro tests paintball air tanks.

ALL SAFE, INC.
915 Washington Ave. No.
Minneapolis, MN 55401
Phone: 612-332-3473
http://www.all-safe.net/

This place is very easy to find and has its own building and parking lot, unlike alot of Minneapolis businesses.
I just had my tank tested at All Safe and it only took about 12 days to complete. The cost is $20.00. I do believe that if anybody says they send their tanks to get hydro'd (such as a field or pro shop), this would be the place they would send it, then add on shipping charges.

I hope this Helps!

The owners son used to play paintball, and they have been a good option to players for quite sometime...

That's where I have gone...

Good shop,

I just have All-safe Hydrotested my Pure energy tank. My advise is to remove your regulator before you bring it in. They beat the living-daylight out of my regulator. Vise-grip mark everywhere, on the bonnet, on the burst disk, on the gauge. All finishes are ruined on my new Ninja regulator.

It still wroks but look like hell that is why they have you sign a wavier. I expected some scatches, but not like this.

I Removed my regulator with a strap wrench and tape up the regulator with much les damage that they did.

Here are some pictures. This after I use black sharpie to dress it up. still look like hell.

I'd rather ship my tank back to Ninja for testing. All Safe makes a mess of things, like in the pictures.

I've seen plenty of horror stories from that place, and will never recommend them.

They recommend for the reg to be removed before being sent in. Just go to a field where they have the tools. Or AA will do all this for you and it's not much more.

wow..just searching around online and came across this thread.

Guys - cheapest is not always best. It doesnt matter which paintball company you use to get a paintball cylinder hydro tested but spend the extra couple bucks and go to a place that specializes in PAINTBALL bottles.

You have no idea how many times we receive calls and emails we receive at Ninja, asking if anything can be done to fix regs that have been removed by vice's, vice grips, and just about every other tool we would never recommend using to remove a reg. We've even seen regulators destroyed by shops that specialize in fire extinguishers and scuba tanks

Drop your tanks off at the store and we'll take care of you.

What's the pricing of having the tanks hydro'd at Vintage?

$45 at MN Pro and you get a deal on a new Ninja reg if you want it

They have done hydro's for quite some time actually. They take great care in the handling of each customer's system and both the manager's are basically Ninja techs as they know all the in's and out's of the Ninja systems quite well. Give them a call if you have any questions, they are always happy to help!

[Jacobl]

Hmm. I'll have to give vintage and mnpro a call. Thanks for the information!
