Out of interest, how do you have yours set up.
Does anyone here set 2 of them at 1 presure setting and the other 2 at a different setting, and depending on conditions you have 2 options. Or all four the same.

Hi there kingo, I set mine 2 @ 26 and 2 @ 18 and mark them with whiteout so as I know which two match.

I've got the ARB one, and I can do 4 tyres quicker than the Staun, and i've got the advantage of knowing what the current pressure is, unlike the staun where you may have accidently moved the setting and not noticed.

yer thats allways on my mind when i let them down, some times you get a small amount of dirt stuck in the release valve as well, and if you dont keep a eye out they deflate your whole tyre then you have to get out the compresser. I allways let them down then check the presure with a digi tyre gauge just to be safe.

As Grumpy said. I have two set at 18 and two at 22psi and I've never had a problem with them giving me the wrong pressure.

I've got a straight though flow, screw on type from the driver training mob that advertise on 4WD TV. (PNL?)

You just screw them on the valve and you can keep checking the pressure with your guage until you're happy.

They import them. No fuss, no guessing, a little bit more work than others. Easy to use.

Hi Kingo, I have four matches. None have white - out, they have this red stuff instead. (sorry could hold back).:) :) :) :)

Maybe Santa might bring me something more high tech??

I use and ARB E-Z deflater too. I think they are the quickest as they remove the entire valve but can't you just screw the stauns on and drive of while still deflating? This would make them quicker. And what about when you need to get under 18psi? Back to the old push the valve method and check with gauge?

I've got an ARB one too and it's pretty good, does the job real quick and you can play with different pressures pretty easy.

Also since it gets used by others they might run different pressures to me and a preset might not but super awesome. Or I could just be selfish and not worry about other people!

Same as Grumpy but set at 25 and 20psi. If I need to go lower I have the locking ring marked and 1 full turn is 3 psi adjustment. I also have the ARB EZ deflator for when I want to play with the pressures.
The EZ may be quicker , but the Stauns are just so easy.
