Technology is a great thing, be sure to take advantage of it.

I have the smittybilts and like them well enough. They are noisy as they make a humming sound. That said, I only use them once a month max. For me, it wasn't worth paying more.

Mine have been pretty consistent. I did find that you can't screw them down tight. If you do, they take forever. If you loosely put them on, they work much better.

You still have to put the stauns on each tire. It takes only about a minute to air down each tire with the currie so it works out about the same except you don't have to go back to each tire a second time.
You seem very hostile about tire deflators....

I have the same one but several manufactures have the same design. A friend of mine has the stauns and they take about the same amount of time. This deflator removes the valve core but keeps it enclosed in the tire gauge so you can check/stop the process at anytime.
