Tyre deflators
Submitted by bsir on Mon, 2018-04-30 13:22
OK, so its not fishing related but...
I need to buy new tyre deflators after my car was broken into. I used to use the STAUN type that just screw on and deflate the tyre to a pre-set pressure.
Ive seen quite a few newer ones now that actually pull the valve and deflate the tyre quickly.
Im interested in what people use, and if anyone has used the cheap knock-offs from ebay and if they are any good.
Thanks

I have one of the cheapest
I have one of the cheapest valve removal type ones off eBay. It works fine but the gauge isn’t really that accurate. It’s close enough though.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

Stauns for me. Screw them on and by the time you get them all screwed on the first ones done.

Cheap pencil gauge is easy
Cheap pencil gauge is easy and most cost effective but takes ages. Staun ones are the go for sure, screw on and drive, just remember to unscrew them and put the caps back on

Stauns, lets all tyres down
Stauns, lets all tyres down at same time with no risk of the valve not seating getting lost, no brainer for me.

How could it get lost? Is totally encapsulated. You never see it.

hahaha, I've seen it twice
hahaha, I've seen it twice from the same mate. He unscrewed the whole thing before putting the valve back in completely. Luckily both times we have found the valve but each time they had shot out about 1.5m away. So if we had been in dense bush or mud / water it could have been interesting.
TBH though as soon as you do it twice your mates will give you enough flak you will never do it again......

IMO it completely depends on
IMO it completely depends on what you do with the car. If it’s just beach work and you will always go for the same pressure a set of properly adjusted and locked off Stauns are perfect. However if you ever intend on changing the pressures depending on scenario, I.e corrugations, coastal track with limestone, sand, etc and want the flexibility to adjust then go a quality valve core remover type deflator.
