Tire deflator - which one to get

Staun are next to useless...sorry but we have had 2 sets and they are inaccurate to say the least, frequently resulting in tyre pressures going too low tyres and coming off the bead. So you need to check them regularly including when they are working - which is time consuming and sort of defeats the auto - purpose really.

The ARB valve removing unit is fast to operate and accurate too and you can read the pressure as you go thereby ensuring it is what you want every time - though I heard some of the early units had a problem with the sliding bit sealing properly.....hum

yes there is always lots of chat on how fast does your compressor re-inflate your tyres........time is normally not an issue for me when i get the time off to go 4 wheeling

I have Stauns and a Ferret I find the Ferret to be a better device

ARB EZ-deflaitor is definitely the way to go. I've used Staun and a couple of others and nothing compares to the ARB. It is bulky and a little on the cheap side construction wise, but is definitely the easiest and quickest to use.

I have a clip-on tyre fitting with a male nitto($1) and a gauge($10). The clip-on does both deflating and inflating.

"Staun" is German for "surprise result"

I ve had the Staun deflators for years, they never stick, come with a leather pouch, one of those lifetime purchases.
Bit like an Engel Fridge, or Maxi drive diff lock, they will last forever!

Only one I've NEVER had any trouble with is either of my Engels

Stauns stick, I used to carry a can of CO contact cleaner, to get rid of any oxidisation, but now I just wack them on methodically and remove the same way, I give up with waiting for them to stop as they stick, just time it
