Thread: Tire deflator - which one to get

not used the arb one but the ability to go any pressure easily certainly sounds more convienient.

I set mine at the servo using their idiot proof air pump. I just checked the pressure in the spare tyre after setting each Staun to make sure that they were all fairly close to each other.

Cant vouch for the others, as I have never used them. But like you, I did a fair amount of research prior to forking over my hard-earned cash (and buying flowers) and decieded that the Stauns had the better reputation.

Just rang ARB at St Peters...$67 for the E-Z and will discount to 4WD club members (LROC)...might grab one to see how it compares...

the reason i like the easy is i go beach depending which one and what its like i will go beetween 12 and 16psi than if i go bush once again depending if its dirt roads or crazy stuff i go beetween 10 and 20 so the ez gives the option to range

ARB EZ Deflator - Quick, accurate, variable.
Stauns - PITA to set and maintain the exact setting, one setting unless you reset them.

I had Stauns, gave them away.

i have only used stauns so cannot comment on the other types

i have two set at 18 and the other two set at 25, i have not had the need to use any other pressures so it works for me.......

I tested my Stauns, straight out of the packet, and put them on all 4 tyres. They were all within 1 PSI when deflated (17 or 18 PSI), which I thought was accurate enough.

I have an ARB, works great, very easy to use.

Have used both the stauns and the EZ deflator. The stauns were fine but the deflator is much more versatile and thus much better value for money. Cheers JP
