[Dana]

Ok I am sure there is a thread. Has anyone ever used these?

I use auto deflators, just not this brand. They do make it easier!

I use the Staun kit or the ARB.

they are $26. How much is the ARB kit?

 

[Dana]

Not sure why that quoted me, haha

No experience with the kit you linked to, but I have the ARB deflator and a set of Staun's. Both work well, but I don't know which is faster.

Some day when I have nothing going on I will do a test and record the airdown time for each.The Staun's need to be checked against each other to be sure they are equally set to the same PSI. I think one of them is a couple pounds lower than the rest.

That is a very nice kit. I wish it existed when I purchased my Stauns which I'll be using forever. I set them up a decade ago and they still deflate down to 16 lbs perfectly. I have the ARB quick deflator that I recieved as a gift for a magazine subscription. Maybe it's just me, but I find it much easier, and much more relaxing to just spin the Stauns on. Relax and visit with folks for a couple of minutes, literally two or three minutes, then go about spinning them back off. 16 lbs every time. The ARB quick deflator will be re-gifted.

 

[Dana]

Thanks for the info. I ordered them. Maybe I will do a review after I use them. They look as if they work very similarly as the Stauns.

 

[Edward Gentle]

No experience with this set up. Like others have said, I use an ARB deflator

Price is right!

^^^This^^^ is the way to use these type of deflators. NEVER put them on and drive the rig as it is very easy to catch one on a rock and rip a stem off a wheel. This happened to someone I was wheeling with and it required a long stop on a rocky trail to put the spare on (which ended up having a huge bubble on the inner sidewall!).

I use the ARB EZ Deflator and prefer it as different conditions can dictate different tire pressures.

They're all about the same. When you get them and see how simple they are, there's really no way to greatly vary the quality from one manufacturer to another.

I've heard of guys leaving them on-- yikes.. I guess some folks do need to take a beginner 4x4 driver training course..

I have driven with my Staun's on quite a few times. Never on the trail, but often times when meeting somewhere close to the trailhead then take them back off once I hit the trail and I'm ready to go. Definitely don't want to get on the trail with them still on and you wouldn't want to go more than a few miles or at any sort of speed while they are on.

In general I totally agree with this; however, I initially bought a different brand of inflators and they were absolute crap. Now I may have just picked up an bum set, but I have had zero issues with the Staun's.

So then, you're saying that you don't leave them on.

 

[Irving Zisman]

I use the Currie EZ Deflator. Its exactly the same thing as the ARB Deflator (I think) just with a different name on it.
I prefer to be able to choose what pressure I am going to run depending on the terrain. Sometimes I will go down to 15, other times 18 or 20.

I put some of these in all our work vehicles and just recently got to use them... like them a lot. They're super easy to adjust and require no tools... very cool.
