Never tried the Staun ones, but my ARB deflator works great every time.

Bought the ARB, used it once, hated it. Bought Stauns very happy. If your not in a hurry Stauns come up used a few times a year in the for sale section. Got mine for $40/45 shipped. I'll even sell you my ARB if you want it.

I got tire stem caps, that have a core remover on the back, just remove the core, let air run out fast, and your done. faster than any deflator out there.

thanks for all the input, I'm sure this question has been asked before but I know over time peoples experience/knowledge/opinions change as do the do products sometimes too.

Ontario jeep fest is this weekend, hopefully some folks will have product for me to look at.

I bought a $15 set off of amazon. They screw on and screw together when not in use so you dont lose them. They are stainless also. I just put them on and by the time i get back around to the first one take them back off. No built in gauge so its not precise but is fast and does the trick

I agree with the above it gives you the most flexability to do what you want for the terrain you are going to transverse.

That Curry looks exactly like the ARB. Same manufacturer different packaging?

I have the ARB deflator and it works great! I have nothing against the other type I'd probably just lose something that small. LOL!

I'm a fan of the ARB deflator, fast and accurate but carry spare valve cores as after a year or so you may find that the rubber seats on the valve cores wear out with constant removal. Easy to swap out.
