I use the Currie Enterprises Deflator. I extracts the valve stem and provides a pressure measurement. At my last wheeling event several of our club members showed significant signs of deflator envy. 
I highly recommend it!

I own staun's and they work great. The generic staun-styles gave me problems so spending some more bucks was worth it. Here is my next purchase:

Now - THESE are deflators, military style.

Good thread. I use a basic, five dollar pressure gauge to air down, and it takes forever. Are the gauges talked about here any faster do you think. To give a baseline, it takes me about a minute to go down by 8 psi

The staun's are impressive... they air me down right on the mark. I recommend them and takes about 2 min to air down all your tires. Also easy to refil. I have 1 set to my re-inflation psi. So i just pump up the tire and throw it on and it deflates to my desired psi.

Call me old school but whats wrong with just taking out the valve stem, counting to 10 and put it back in? I got a really nice slime gauge ( goes as low as 1psi which is great for my quads ) for $10 and a valve stem remover with my tire plug kit. I can air down all 4 tires (35's) in under 2 mins. Takes about 4 mins to air down my buddies 42's.

Yeah, sure. you can always do that, but then you won't have people looking at you with deflator envy.
