Which EZ deflators are the ez est?

[Blue J]

Let's talk about EZ Deflators for airing down. I was getting ready to order up some lube lockers so I can finally put my diff covers on, Hopefully before March 13/14.  And I started looking at EZ deflators. Are the Arb or Currie deflators better than the Rugged ridge or Smittybilt brass style deflators? Which are easier to use?

I love the brass ones you put on and forget and you are set after you say hello to every one.   You can use the squat down kind to check if needed. I have both.   Hate to wait and squat lol.

Set it, forget it.  The problem is that you have to swap between tires, so if you talk a lot, you may forget to move it.

I could never get the Staun screw-on type to stay adjusted.  Currently have the Currie and like it much better.

After using Tony's in Moab, I bought one of these.

I had the same experience with the Staun's, love the Currie

I never could get my Stauns to stay set either.  I got these Trailhead deflators and haven't had an issue since.

I have used that for about 4 years and it works great. You do have to bend down usually sit on a bucket or something.

I thought the Staun/Smitty's were pretty cool but after watching a guy screw one on and it took his tire down to about 0 psi and the pain of airing it back up...I decided to continue using my manual Currie...and the Currie unit is fast.

That can happen!  Happened to me once when they froze up when I was pulling that Tractor Trailer last year and I was almost on the rims before I realized it but I don't normally air down in the snow and ice lol.

It can also happen if you don't take care of them, maintain them, if they get dirty.  If they are clean, a shot of wd 40 keeps them working great but if they are dirty with sand and grit, they come apart easily, and you have to calibrate each of them again to the pressure you want. 

I have both and never use the hose/stem pull one.
