I had a chance first hand to see the currie ez tire deflaters last weekend at coy they seem to work great,but is there another device out there that is equal or better? 8)
 
I was one of the ones with the Currie..There's another brand too, (Accu Gauge) about 10 bucks less.  Not sure how it works first hand, but looks the same.
 
hey rubi13 thanks for the help,if you look in the quadratech catalog there is almost the same tire deflator with almost the same part number 1 is 19.00 the other is 29.00 and they look the same what,s up with that?
 
I have no idea...but i got the Currie one...and it didn't come in black like they show...but in red...looked different...If you go to www.Quadratec.com they have an ARB one too...looks identical to my Currie one, but is $35  :rolleyes: Looks to me, like the same place makes them, then the brand name on them is dictating the price  :why:

Staun automatic tire deflators are adjustable from 6-30psi and will automaticlly stop once the desired pressure is reached. I set mine to 10psi two years ago, and they still work perfect. They are more expensive, but worth it, screw them on and forget about it.

Just yesterday I ordered a set of the Stauns from Rustys. $59. I've seen massxj use his and they worked great.

I have the $19.99 Accu-Gauge tire deflator from Quadratech.  It's identical to the Currie unit.  Probably made in the same place.  I also have the Stauns.  I love the Stauns (got a deal at a Jeep Jamboree for $40 :wink:) - just screw them on and walk away (go BS with others, disconnect your swaybar etc...)  I had them set at 12PSI.  Then Holly's KJ's MTR's started coming on the trail - so we would share - she took two and I took two (great if you are on the same trail).  But this year I decided I wanted to air down to 8-10lbs (we couldn't share anymore) So after I borrowed the Currie set-up - it worked great - I gave my Stauns to Holly and she bought me the Accu-Gauge deflator.  Takes about 30-50 seconds per tire to air down 33's from 30PSI to 8-10PSI.  Both are great set-ups.  The Currie/Accu-Gauge deflators are way faster though.  Just my 2 :2cents:
 
Hey just a little note on the Staun's. Sometimes they will stop 3-5 psi too early or not start at all. I have found this a couple of times. All you have to do is pull the little plug in the back or even give it a little smack. Just my two cents.

I've had that happen a few times - Good tip on smacking it ( I used to just revert back to the tire gauge for the last few PSI...)
 
I just got my Stauns today (made a mistake I bought them off ebay for $59). I'll try setting them using a bike tire as Steve suggests.
 
Yes, much easier & quicker to set via a bike tire.  Even with a hand pump you can do it quickly while sitting in the comfort of your living room!
