Tire Deflators?

I'm looking for the auto tire deflators that you screw onto your valve stems that can adjust the psi. Ideally from 10-30psi or somewhat close to that. Thanks.
  • Thanks for all the responses.......I guess Staun is the only way to go.
  • I bought the smittybilt ones trying to save a few bucks and they were very inconsistent. Sent them back and ponied up for the staun. Love em

    They are a necessary tool to deflate your tires when in the sand. It makes short work of deflating, i pull down onto the beach in pismo, stop and use the deflators on the truck and the hauler. Mine are not set because i use a differant pressure on the truck vs the hauler. Once deflated i can tow the rig pretty much anywhere in pismo, can even backup fully loaded. Only drawback is leaving the beach to take truck into town, gotta air up.
  • My Jeep group likes Staun deflators. Been using mine for 4 years now and no complaints. Most 4 wheel drive stores carry them.
