Pull your valve stems out, use a gauge until you are 1 or 2 lbs above what you want to run, put valve stems back in, then fine tune it with letting air out with the valve stem in.

Agree - just know you can get the same deflator much cheaper at your local auto parts store. Mine was around $12 and the quality is terrific.

I use the air chuck from my air compressor. Not as quick as removing the valve from the stem, but I had one of those shoot out once and it was hard to find.
