staun tyre deflaters

[thebeast]

Morning all,
I am wondering if anyone has the Staun deflaters and are they as good as they seem? We have 3 other brands and they are so fiddley, slow and not too accurate.

Any feedback will be appreciated.

happy with mine, screw on screw off, nothing else to do, touch, fiddle with etc

gotta be much simpler than the other brands....must say i have not used any other type apart from the good old twig

They are good but i woulld just buy this from ARB an E-Z Tyre Deflator
Main reason is that by the time you have walked all the way round the car and put the stauns on and then taken them all off again when they have stopped it is quicker and easer with the E-Z tyre deflator. And the stausn do have a thing of not being all that accutate after a while. Plus the E_Z tyre is cheaper:). And before you ask i do have both and have used both alot:)

I like mine. I get anxious that I've knocked the dial though and it'll go down to about 10psi so I usually check my tyres with a gauge after wards but that's just me being retentive.

They make it much easier, just don't rely on the preset. You'll soon get to know how long they take, & so wind them off a turn just beforehand. As mentioned, let down the last couple of psi using a gauge.

I love my ARB unit, but find it difficult to just use it as a tyre gauge. Any tips?

I have a set - used them for the first time on the GCLRO DARE exercise. They are said to be pre set to 18psi but mine dropped the pressure to between 11 and 15 psi so I need to reset them - but simple to use.

I've got a set of Staun deflators. Had them for a few years and only reset them once.

Two set at 20psi and two set at 25psi.

I just use a tyre inflator nozzle (without the hose attached of course) and a good gauge. Cheap as chips :)

Just clip the nozzle on the valve and check the pressure every now and then with the gauge by sticking it on the nozzle - no need to to even take it off the tyre valve.

I'm happy with mine, but I check the pressures after deflation anyway.

I was using a vdo pressure gauge that I got from ARB, but it's often up to 3psi out, so now I use my trusty pencil gauge to check the pressures.

[feraldisco]

they're good...I've got two set to 18psi (sand) and two set to 27psi (dirt/firetrails)

[LavisLane]

Love mine - i used to flash A$$ crack for 10 minutes and offend the local wildlife. Now i stick them on at the start of the track to the beach and take them off once i'm on.

Always like to double check the pressure though...

I've used Staun and they are good, much better than others like those OL sed to sell. But I've now got an ARB unit like Reads mentione. BRILLIANT! Best way to go IMO. As you are simply removing the valve deflation is very rapid and can be as varied as you want it to be. With Stauns you have them preset to a pressure and then muck around to change it.

You can use the ARB unit as a pressure gauge, but you still have to unscrew the valve, found this annoying when at home, OK when out bush. So I still have a tyre gauge for when I just want to check pressures at home

Graz bought the ARB deflator at the camping show sat,$55.
Almost got one as they are advertised as fast as 4 stauns, but you can drop to any pressure.Once I see Grazs in action this weekend I reckon I will get one!!!
Will see the time difference,any where close is more than acceptable for the choice of deflate pressure!!!

I dont have stuan I have the ARB and yes the stuans are easier I have to agree screw them on and walk away while im crouching down at each tyre haveing said that I have seen his stuans on every ocation deflate his tyres less then the prest amount and every trip weve been together the dope hasnt checked the tyre presures and d-rimed his tyres

I speaking to ACE on the week end he suggested to keep on the dash to warm them up prior using I dont know I prefere the E-Z I have to so I do 2 at a time

but thast just my Opinion :)

[srowlandson]

i have had a few set of stauns since they came out, set at different pressures, a dab of super glue helps keep them set perfectly.


i had 2 @ 22 , 2@ 18 and 4 @ 8psi for use with my beadlocked Q78 Swampers :D


Love em.

I must admit, i sold them through our store for man years (store currently shut down) and sold bucket loads and never had any complaints.
