Don’t like the style you posted personally. Used one of these for years. ARB ARB505 E-Z Deflator Kit 10-60 PSI Tire Pressure Gauge Rapid Air Down Offroad Kit (PSI) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004LQCDOA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_GE7eEbR9E3WK7

Thanks, I'd never used them. I see mixed reviews, but some may be related to dumbassity since they require tuning.

I've been using a "Boulder" version of that ARB. 2 years of use and the threads are about stripped. I'll buy the ARB this time. Gracias

I have stauns, but the ARB is so dang fast, I can do all 4 tires in the time it takes to deflate 1 with a staun.

Bet I can deflate it faster.

Yeah I never bothered to spend the money on a fancy tool I gotta jeep up with to let the air out of my tires. I have a few gages always on hand and valve stem tool, and I yank that sucker out and let ‘er whistle for a bit till I see the tire squat and fine tune with the gauge from there. I’ve done it so many times I can usually get within 2-3lbs.

when the tires starts to lower and widen, you just hit the side wall and it should giggle like a nice booty. Put the valve stem in and go wheelin. Usually someone is on tire #2 with the fancy gadget by the time I’m done.
 
I have used the arb deflator for about a year now. It is slightly faster than pulling the valve stem.
Not much.

Do they have a positive "click" when they're done or do they just fizz put at a slower and slower rate until done? How long do they take?

They let the air out. They work as intended.
They cost $17. Do the math.

For all the hate, they seem to do ok at 3lbs considering the lack of tread. In fact, they get way more traction that that heep you got on jack stands :D

I've been using one of the EZ deflators for a couple of years and am in need of a new one. I came across these and wondered what y'alls opinions are. Anybody use em? Love 'em or hate 'em?

Between my father and myself we have been using them years. We like them for the beach, slap them on and head down the beach while they are deflating. But people sure do give you funny looks.
 
I have a set of SmittyBilt deflators somewhere. The type that once set, you screw them on and the deflate to the set pressure. After I did that and walked away only to return to 2 tires flat in the ground I just never used them again. Mostly because shortly after my Jeep became a trailer queen and I never worried about air pressure anymore. I’ll gladly give them to someone if they want them. For $10 I’ll ship them. I think the ones that let all the air out just came unscrewed from their setting.
 
I was gifted a set of stauns and I like them. But my ARB deflator is awesome.
