I use an ARB-knockoff deflator but I've seen the automatic deflator like the Staun for years and wondered how they do.
Anyone use them with any luck?

I know many who use them. Once you get the correct air pressure set, they seem to work fine..... provided they don't magically get un-set and let your air pressure down to 8 psi when you thought you had it set to 15.
They work about 20% to 30% faster than your (and my) ARB knockoff. The difference is, at least to me, is that I can choose on the fly what air pressure I'm goin to run based on the terrain I intend to be going into, and set it accordingly.
My take, is that I'll stick firmly in the ARB style one at a time tire deflator arena.
Besides that, I've never been in such a hurry that it ever mattered, and usually end up spending way more time BS'ing with the group anyway, so expediency has never been an issue.

I think y'all basically just reinforced all my points for sticking with the gauge.That was kind of my thoughts too. I'm never in a hurry to air down (or up for that matter). So they might be faster and less fuss if they're set right? But I have no problem doing it with the standard gauge deflator.
How many come in a set? Couldnt you realistically set half to 20 and the other to 15? It would take twice as long to deflate all 4 tires, but you would still get the advantage of not having to watch them so you could continue to do other trail prep or chat with buddies.I had (operative word there) a set of Staun knock offs... didn't hold setting worth a darn. I bought a set of Stauns and reset them from 15 (factory setting) to 20... that took a good hour to do all 4. I love them. They hold their setting, quickly deflate, and are so easy to use.
If they weren't so dang expensive I'd get another set and leave them at 15.
Although I may rig up a regulator with a quick disconnect to try something later though....
4 in a set. Yes I could but for me, by the time I get the 4th one on the first one is about done. LOLHow many come in a set? Couldnt you realistically set half to 20 and the other to 15?
