The other benefit is that you can change what pressure you drop down to, depending on the conditions. People under-estimate the advantage that the right tyre pressures gain offroad. Probably the biggest difference to "making it" or not.
Yeh i find the ARB just as quick and you can be more accurate with the pressures.And i do pinch the pin on the stauns but you walk away and sometimes it stops deflating again.And with the ARB's you dont have to have a couple of sets for different pressures.One time i thought the stuans were the ants pants but are inconvenient now.

I just use a valve core removal tool and take the valve out, when theres a noticeable bulge in the tyre, i put it back in. Just make sure that you have a spare valve or two incase you drop, loose, or bust one.
15 seconds per tyre max.
The frustrating part is slow compressors pumping them back up again , which is why i bought two 76 litre per minute compressors.

EZE.

I've used them all. From the first aluminium Stauns to the latest bronze Stauns as well as the Ferret and now the ARB Ezi deflator. The ARB is by far the best with the built in tyre pressure gauge they are fast and accurate. The Ferret is handy to hang on the key ring and as long as you can count they are reasonably accurate. The Stauns I find are a bit hit and miss. They never deflate to the same pressure twice and as the pressure gets low they become very slow.

Do you get 4 of them? The reason I like the Stauns is there are 4 of them and you can do all the tyres at the same time. I couldn't be bothered with the ARB and doing each tyre 1 at a time.

As for not starting deflating, once I screw them on I grab the top with my finger nail and give it a light tug to get the ball rolling, not really that difficult.

Mine are still at the exact presure I set them at 5 years ago.

I have been threatening to get another set but never get around to it.
I have 2 set on 18psi for Sand and 2 set at 26 for the firmer stuff.

I can still use all 4 to deflate though.
When going down to 26psi I screw the 26's on first on one side of the car and walk around and screw the 18's on the other.
When the side I started on stops I go around and unscrew the 18's It is normally within 1/2 a pound.

Just curious as I have never used one but don't you have to let each tyre down indervidually with the ARB deflator?

I agree with Festa, I've got Stauns as well....and they are brilliant. No issues at all and I think they are very fast.... certainly fast enough to not cause any concerns. Mine go 36psi dfown to 24psi in about 30secs... and given that they come as a pack of 4 it's still 30secs because they all deflate once connected.

Staun is the way to go...and I'm not about to spend another $40- $70 just to save a precious few more seconds

Cheers, Pete
