Staun are cheap and popular. ARB also has a set that's nice.

Although, I use a rock or knife.

Staun Deflators are the standard IMO. Not cheap, but reliable and consistent.

Currie EZ Deflator work quickly... We used Staun on one side and Currie on the other. Currie finished just ahead, not that speed matters much. I also like the attached pressure guage.

Can't go wrong with either.

I use Staun deflators and they work really well. They have 2 versions, 1 that goes from 6 psi to 30 psi, and one from 0 to 10 psi.

Here's a good deflator comparison:

I made a home made tire deflator that does two tires at once. Got the idea from here, think I only spent 30-40 bucks. All you need is air line, you figure out how much (I have 2 ten foot sections.) a pressure gauge, 2 claw connectors, 1/2 turn valve, 4 port block. I even have it set up to air up two tires at the same time. I can deflate two tires from 38 to 20 in about three minutes.

I use ARB's EZ deflator, essentially the exact same thing as the Currie. Works great, fast.

I use the currie one also. It's fast and easy. I wouldn't spend 30 bucks more for the stauns
