Default Which tire deflator?

I've been looking at the ARB tire deflator, ( ARB ARB505 - ARB E-Z Tire Deflator - Quadratec )

I'd like to hear what experience anyone may have this, or is there something better?

We got the Staun tire deflators too. A bit price but worth it. Easy to set to your preferred tire pressure and work very well.

There are several threads on this topic, so be sure to search if you'd like a lot more information.

I run Staun's because you can screw them on, and then go talk to your buddies until all 4 tires shut off and are ready to wheel! $60 for a set of four is not bad when you consider people will spend $30 on a device that does one tire at a time.

Good luck!

I like my Curry Enterprises EZ-Deflator. It serves as a deflator and tire pressure gauge all in on. Works great. Nice and easy too.

Im not that impressed with my trail head deflators. I can't get them to be consistent. And I have tried many times even went down to a lube shop where they had a big air compressor and spent about a hour. I thought I had them working but the first time out it about deflected all the air I had to stop one of them. Anyway I don't regret getting them but I plan one looking else where for a better one.

Staun deflators are the way to go. A bit of a pain to set to your desired pressure, but once done, they're quick (you can do all 4 tires at once), they're accurate, and they're made well.
