    Better yet is the polyurethane coiled hose. It stays flexible in cold weather and is really well suited for use with CO2....

    Yea, I think the only difference is that it has a sliding collar that allows you to start/stop airing up and down. It’s a sweet setup for sure.

    I love the DIY solutions....so much fun to see what someone smarter than me has come up with.
    I have been using a keychain deflator by Sun for years, spin off each one as I walk around. By the time I am back at the 1st tire it is usually pretty close.
    Air up is much easier with a clip on chuck and just looking at my sidewall.

    That’s why I made mine to only do 2 wheels at a time. Much less hose to store. I also run different pressures front and rear most of the time so it makes more sense.

    Closed air chucks are just that. They are always closed (no air flow) until connected to a valve stem and then air will flow. Open air chucks are always open (unrestricted air flow, connected or not connected). I use open air chucks (Haltec H-5265-OP) on both my inflator gauges solely to allow me to bleed off air in the line to make disconnecting the air hose from the QD coupler easier......

    It takes me just as much time to install the ARB deflator as it does to let the air out. My buddy has a digital tire gauge and he just manually deflates and we finish about the same time. I think it all depends how big your tires are. Different strokes.

    If money is no concern, these: https://www.extremeoutback.com/product/mil-spec-multi-choice-deflator-standard-series/

    I have some Staun knockoffs. They can be a bit finicky to set, and you generally want to set them for about 2 psi above where you want to be and then bleed off the last 0.5 to 2 psi with a tire guage like this:
    $36 Longacre 50417 0-60 PSI Analog Tire Pressure Gauge, 2"
    https://www.amazon.com/Longacre-504...d=1584323053&sprefix=Longacre+,aps,524&sr=8-1

    They work better if you pull them a part and exercise the springs a bit, to make the spring pressure more consisent.

    Built my own deflator over thirty years ago. Simple to do. All you need are four of those self-coiling air hoses, four locking air chucks, a few brass fittings and a sharader valve, a pressure and a radiator petcock. Connect air chucks to the tires the air chucks and open the petcock. When the pressure is where you want colse the petcock and disconnect the chucks. Airing back up is just as easy. Probably cost you 20% of a ready made kit and likely will last longer.
