Looking for tire deflator kit

So I have been looking for a tire deflator kit and would like to see what product(s) are trail proven. Like anything I am sure they all have their pros and cons and would like to hear both. I have seen most of the deflator s have a 0-60 psi range.

Brand and price would be appreciated. I seen some that you "dial in" the pressure you want to run. Are these pretty accurate?

Thank you in advance for your time/help,

Sonny

I run a Morrflate compressor with a 4 way hose for airing up and down. It is pricey but I hate sitting at the beginning or end of a trail airing up or down. It will do all of 4 of my 37” tires in about 5 minutes airing up from 15psi to 40 psi. Airing down is only a couple minutes. This is the fastest method I’ve come across

I’ve used and have a few of those automatic deflators you show there. They all work about the same, and it’s al good until you get a piece of sand in one and it doesn’t stop, now you have a flat that you have to air up. Is that every time no, but it does happen. I prefer what us old farts refer to as a “Currie tool” since they were the first to market it. I still have a couple of the Currie ones and a couple of the Amazon specials, they all work great and work every time.

Here’s a Current option. I’ve used several that all look similar, they all work the same.

Second vote for the style that Yeller posted and really like it. Ive had a couple versions of the one you posted for all four tires that you "dial in" and could never get them to be consistent. Might have been for not trying hard enough.

I have the Staun set I got in Victorville California in 06 when I attended the 40th Bronco anniversary from a member here.
I also have the currie version that yeller posted. Just gotto be careful not to mess up the shrader valve threads.

I tried some Staun knockoffs and I'm not really a fan, too finicky. Most of the time I just break out the 4 way hose. It's not the fastest way but the pressure stays consistent and we're usually standing around BSing for a while anyway.

I have some Staun knock-offs. Coyote is the brand. They were pretty finicky to get adjusted, but once adjusted they've been great. Knock on wood, but I haven't had any trouble with sand getting in and sticking them open yet.
