SO im on the market for some tire deflators or a tire deflator, was looking into the stauns or the currie ez deflator, and ran across this one from smittybult. its half the price of the staun and look like the exact same thing. whatchall think

hey this might be the newbie of me coming out but why not just get a simple valve stem remover and use that to let some of the air out it is not an exact science but works pretty well

 

That is why you get a currie EZ so you dont loose the inner stem, plus you get a gauge so you can see where you are at. Just my 2 cents, I wheel with guys who have all of them and I think the currie is best.

And yes its the newbie in you, as I used to feel the same way, but after you do it a bunch of times, you find time does matter and accuracy also matters.

 

I'm not a fan of the automatic tire deflators... its too complicated for a task that is too simple. I would suggest the simple tire deflators like teraflex offers. Just go around the jeep putting them on the valve stems, then go to the first one w/ a pressure gauge and when its where you want it (the pressure gauge fits over the end of the deflator so you don't need to take it off), just go around the jeep taking them off in the same order you put them on.



Then again I'm a KISS kind of guy. If you're going to get something that's over engineered for the task at hand, get the most expensive ones you can find... and if they're made in China, practice wheeling w/ fully inflated tires.

 

haha yea i have learned the hard way a few times on this rig u get what you pay for. i think im just gonna go with the currie ez deflator. ive never seen the teraflex one before. thanks for the input fellas.

 

Staun are the tried and true! you won't be disappointed.

 

I have the Stauns and they are great the smittybilt look the same but I could not find any user reviews so I bought the Stauns.

 

I have observed buddies with staun's and buddies with currie ez, so when I spent my money it was on the currie.

Depending on what you are wheeling in you will learn that you might want different pressures. Thus the currie was my choice as you have a guage and can decide on the spot what you want to do. Plus they are super fast.

In the end everyone will recommend what they have as the best, cause they bought because thats what they want to use.

 

I use these and love them.

I have the ARB which is almost exactly the same as the Currie. Works great and you dont have to worry about losing your valve stem core.
