I just received and tried out a set of the JT Brooks Pro deflators. Well built and accurate set of four in a carry pouch. I set the dials to 15lbs and tried them out, all four hit their mark quickly and stopped.

I like the TeraFlex version. Put one on tire #1, wait 20-30 seconds, put on #2, repeat. By the time I get back to tire #1, I am nearly at the desired psi.
For $15, I'll check the pressure myself.

Are the ARB/Teraflex like these able to read PSI when not airing down?

Based on this video, it appears that I cannot read PSI with this deflater unless I'm deflating.

Ive used the ARB one for a while and it is a good unit, but takes babysitting. I just ordered these new JT Brooks adjustable PRO auto deflators from Offroad Evolution. I never liked auto deflators because I range my psi from 8-20 depending on terrain and speed. These new ones are adjustable and don't require babysitting. I don't have enough time with them to know long term, but I think they are the way to go.

Resurrecting an old thread because I'm shopping around and looking at some different tire deflator options.
I ran across these which are on the lower cost side ($30) and the reviews seem to be pretty good. They don't seem like the typical Amazon below $30 junk according to the reviews, but I could be wrong.
Anyone have any experience with these tire deflators made by Boulder Tools?

I paid up for Stauns a good while back. Wish I would have just saved the money and gotten the cheap ones. I typically throw them on and then just monitor the TPMS, pulling them off when it's time. I thought the fact that they could be set at a certain PSI would be great, but in reality, even after spending the time to dial them in, they would always be off depending on the geographic location I was wheelin....so I'd have to sit there and tweak em anyhow. On the off chance I was ever not paying attention and let the tires go too low, I have onboard air. That's never happened.

I haven't seen anyone mention these on the forum good or bad, so unless I hear from someone who has personal experience with them, I'll be the 1st to give them a try and post back. I also need a new manual tire pressure gauge which these come with, so all won't be lost even if they do turn out to be junk.
