Sorry, don't know of any other but if you are in the market then
check out post 18623.

Mine arrived in the post last night.....

Hi Mozza.
why don't you subscribe to 4x4 monthly they throw in a set of stauns for a 12 month subscription!

I don't work for Staun and have not bought any of there other products.

What i can say is i wish vehicle manufacturer's had a similar product policy.

I bought the units when they first came out, nylon things that most often worked okay. After a couple years they got less reliable - but that only meant getting them to work first time. I rang them up and described the problem and if there was any lube they could suggest.

They asked me to return them, in the return mail i got a full set of the brand new brass ones.

I was impressed.

Why waste the money?? I have Stauns, never used em LOL.. An ARB/TJM Twig off the ground works just as well.

Best option is to use a valve removal tool... Thats what I do, works well..

After a about 5-10mins at a servo, you can work out how much air comes out of your tire with the valve core removed, in say 20/30 second incraments.
EG
20 secs maybe approx 15psi...
30 secs maybe approx 22psi...

Cost is $0.00 for a valve removal cap from your tire joint next time your there, inform them you have 2x valve removal caps on your car before they changed tires, or just ask for a couple...

I have a pair of Oasis deflators which have been tough and reliable. To the point where I have no reservations about driving with the deflators still on the valve. Unfortunately they are about twice the price of the Staun deflators. Also hey don't have the manual release pin which limits the range of pressures they can deflate to (Usually that's not a problem).

haha, this is one of the best con jobs i have ever seen in my life.

Tyre deflators...........LMFAO.

Actually its probably quite possible to get someone to buy something like this.........maybe i should wrap a small bit of alfoil around a match and get supercheap to sell them.

Tyre Deflators...........ROTFLMFAO

psssssttt anyone wanna buy some sweat..........

Personally I wouldn't be without my staun's, got them on special at a show... they are so quick and accurate (by the time you walk around the 4 tyres the first one is ready to come off). Call them a con job if you like, each to their own, but I've got better things to do than squating by the side of my fourby for 15 mins or so.

Used the Stauns, courtesy of the 4WD monthly sub, for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Makes a backbreaking task much easier.

Mozza,

Ferret Tools in Perth make a deflator that I bought at the 4WD show in Perth recently. $25.

It removes the valve completely but keeps it captured safely inside the tool. It releases around 1psi per second, and then you screw the valve back in a move onto the next tyre.

Seems like a cheaper option than Stauns, quicker than a stick and no risk of them failing when left on the tyre.

From the White Pages, might not be the right place.
