Which EZ deflators are the ez est?

I also have one like in the above photo but it's a Currie.  Works good but as stated,  you need a seat to babysit it. I had the Smittybuilt deflaters but were way too heavy to screw on & drive to the trails. It even states so in the paper work.
If I were in the market I'd get the style Clarke posted.  It does everything you need them to do.  You can pre set the psi you want, screw them on, drive to the trail & not have to monitor them.

The one Clark posted is $99 for one(1). They lost me at 99 bucks

I'm happy with the ARB/Currie deflator as well, aside from the squat part.  Never tried any of the others though.  Just make sure you get the valve stems tight (no I have never woken up to a flat tire at Chocco because of a leaking valve stem).

Oops,  my bad.  I meant the one that Red Dragon ATL listed. $100 just for one is stupid. http://www.4x4groupbuy.com/store/oasis-trailhead-tire-deflator-5psi-20psi-aluminum-p-10401.html

I had the Smitty deflators and they are trash imo

So how many of the Staun/Smittybilt folks screwed them on and then drove somewhere?  Are they expected to be able to keep their settings and be driven somewhere?  Perhaps that is why they are working for me.  I get to the campsite/parking lot/etc  at the park, then put them on, wait for them to finish while I do other things, and then take them off.  I can completely see these loosing their setting if you were to drive somewhere while they were screwed on.

I sold mine before I ever used them.  Way too heavy for what I wanted them to do.

I also have a couple of these. They work very well and are accurate

So the brass ones or the military ones are best for those of us that hate to kneel. Thanks everyone for your input.

One issue I had with the adjustable one was the length would get interfered with by hub caps (inserts that cover the hub area) on my 15" rims.  PRobably not an issue for larger wheels or those without large center caps.

I don't believe they are designed to be used while driving.   The cintrifigual force would push down on the piston and shut them off early.

I wouldn't use mine while driving.  Seriously, it only takes a few minutes to do it on each tire.  Get through obstacle 1, then do the tires while you wait on the other 9 vehicles to get through!

I bought a set of Kimo's (knock off Stauns)online and they work pretty good. Air all 4 down at the same time, take em off and ride.
