The only tire deflator with six preset psi levels Pressures range in 2 psi increments. A precision instrument that's machined from aluminum and brass with a silicone boot that keeps out dirt and moisture. Simply choose the desired pressure rating and screw onto the tire valve to begin airing down.

I've got stuans, smitty built, trailhead, and the military one. Stuans and trialheads win. I like the trailheads a little better cause once you set them they are harder to inadvertently change (they have a set screw). The stauns are very good, shutting off at the right level. I bought the smitty built figuring that they would be a lot like the stauns. They are more finicky to set, and I've variable performance with them--meaning they don't always hit the right pressure.

The military one is really expensive, I thought it would be cool to try. It's a waste of money.It isn't any faster, and the stuans/trialheads are easy to set.

I haven't tried the ARB.

I put my trailheads on, then deflate on the trail as I'm driving.

The smittybilts work, but the people I know with them say that they are much much harder to dial in to the pressure that they want. The stauns work better just because it is easier to dial them in.

That being said, my favorite are the teraflex ones, though I think they are just generic and companies sell them under their name because I have seen the exact looking ones from different places. But who cares, because they work great and are cheap. I mean 60 bucks or more for deflators? That just seems high priced just so I could stand around BSing without doing the work myself to let air out of my tires...

I've used the ARB one:

I like it the best. SO FAST, much faster than Staun's I hear, and half the price.

Looks like the Currie EZ to me, they must be made by the same company.

shit, im young, dont mind sittin down by each tire for a min, and i really like that the currie and the arb have the gauge on it. im starting to lean more towards them just based on how frequently i air down. i have borrowd a buddies core remover and i dont like that. so many decisions when it comes to everything for these jeeps.
