tire deflators

[NavyDiver]

I had a nice ARB tire deflator then was given some straun ones which I find a little fiddly myself. I saw a ARB type for under half the price, Tigerz11 - KWIKY TYRE DEFLATOR

ARB E-Z Deflator Tyre Accessories | ARB 4x4 Accessories

anyone had any expiriances with these?

Tigerz11 - RECOVERY KIT TESTED for $160 seem very cheap.

What do you find fiddly about the Staun deflators, once setup, I have 2 set at 30psi and 2 at 26psi, if just using 2 I fit the first one walk to the second tyre and fit, walk to the next 2 tyres and remove caps, return to first which has finished. Fit that one to the third tyre and then get the second one finished and fit to the fourth tyre. takes about the time it takes to walk slowly around the car twice., I can do 2 vehichles and be sitting back in the cab before an ARB has got to the 3rd tyre, so what's so fiddly, regards Frank.

OR - you could set up all four Stauns for different common psi (sets of 2 differing for front and 2 for rear?) and just be that little bit slower to deflate each time?

Staun's fiddly......are you sure, maybe when you want to change the pressure setting but that about it.

I was deflating my tyres prior to honing the te beach the other month. There were three others using things similar to the ARB type, watching these guys convinced me never to buy one. One lap sound the car to fit the four staun deflators, had a few kicks of the footy with the boys, another lap around the car to remove the stauns. The other guys had to stay kneeling down next to each tyre while the passengers were socializing.

As my Disco is always fully loaded I have 2 Stauns set to 30psi for the rear and 2 set for 26 psi for the front, but if road is slippery or rocky I set all tyres at 26psi, easiest thing to use since Velcro, regards Frank.

Hi Frank. it might be just me. I had one set for 20psi and used it on all four wheels. I found 15 to 23 result in four wheels. Tried again setting another at 15psi found a similar range of results which made me a little nervous. Again this might be me. I know a mate who loves his and does not see the vairiance I found.

Never had that problem my settings are within 1psi of one another and i always check (before re-inflating) with the same hand held pressure guage. Had mine for about 5 years now, you need to make sure the knurled stop nut is done up tight, different tyre temps. will give you different readings also, Regards Frank.

I use them too, never had a problem. I have two sets, thanks to magazine subscriptions, I have one set at 15psi and one set at 28 psi. if you set them up and lock the ring correctly, they stay put and perform consistently. much less labour intensive than the ARB types.

Whilst not recommended...

I fit the Stauns and then just drive off

Next stop, go around and remove...

Works fine - but I guess you could lose one....
