Can't the same argument be used for literally every product in the world? I guess if I go into your house you'll only have the cheapest examples of every item.
Staun, to the best of my knowledge, are the original creators of this design deflator and are also 100% Australian made and owned.
Regarded by many off-road drivers as the best deflation tool.

If you're going to post something here, you should be prepared to justify why you think it is a bargain, rather than just criticise people for asking valid questions…
Wheres the criticism exactly? Simply stating a point.
You must be getting soft jv… (yep, criticism)
Wheres the criticism exactly?
In the tone of the first statement…
You must be getting soft jv…
That's what my wife said too…
OK jv, where have you seen the same product cheaper???
@StewBalls: Well they are just tyre deflaters, not tyres. SO I'm guessing something like this is similar enough to be the same (for $28)
http://m.ebay.com.au/itm/AUSSIE-TUFF-BRASS-TYRE-DEFLATORS-SE…@supabrudda: I didn't say similar enough…I said the same for a reason…let's compare apples with apples here.
As noted, that logic implies that every single brand name item which has a cheap generic knockoff as an alternative is automatically ruled out as a bargain…that's iPhones, gone; Sony TVs, gone; etc, etc, etc…just check out all the histrionic meltdowns when the same argument is applied to Apple products.
@StewBalls: Not true.
As I said these are tyre deflaters, not tyres. big difference.They're simple objects, you've used complex product examples where the differecnes are quite noticable to even the n00bs.
Cheap knock offs != worse.
I taxi to the airport with work, I Uber to the airport for pleasure.
Uber is a cheaper knock off.
I buy $3 HDMI cables, not the $200 ones with AV protect.
These cheap knock offs are as every good as the more expensive one, without the marketing tax.Explain how they deflaters are different?
@supabrudda: That is all utterly irrelevant nonsense…as noted, post a link to exactly the same well respected brand name product at a lower price or STFU, simple.
Remember, we're not discussing the merits of the product itself here, that's an entirely separate debate; we're discussing the merits of the deal post itself.
@kevsta89: It's actually a form of trolling…you'll notice that they do it a fair bit on OzB.
Easy solution, don't share anymore deals…whilst the grown-ups certainly appreciate your effort, I know that a lot of us simply CBF posting deals anymore due to the asinine whinging you invariably get on here.
@StewBalls: I was just asking myself why I even bothered posting the deal. It's a shame a few boneheads have to continuously ruin this site for the masses.
All he has to do is show that its the cheapest for Staun deflators. Its why a Samsung TV qualifies as a bargain despite the existence of Changhong.
The end result is a deflated tyre, it doesn't matter how you achieve it.
With TV sets, the end result is watching a show, and there is a vast difference between your 2 examples.
@jv: no way hosey. That's totally wrong.
I'd rather lick icecream than concrete if the end result is licking..
Don't even get me started about getting blown..
@jv:

Say that when there's a steak knife hanging out the sidewall of your tyres…
So how are they better then this set for $29
http://m.ebay.com.au/itm/AUSSIE-TUFF-BRASS-TYRE-DEFLATORS-SE…I'm not sure but I am assuming the staun are made better, from better materials and are easier.
True 4WD'ers tend to ask for these by name, that to me says something. Remember Repco trying to tell me their best price was $99 when I enquired.
There sure is. I have used many of the cheap knock offs after refusing to spend $80 (normal price) on a pair of Stauns. All I can say is, there is a reason for them being this price. The $20 set I got off amazon were terrible. Extremely hard to set the desired pressure, and when finally set, it is completely inaccurate. The mechanism is sticky and without intervention will get stuck and let your tyre down all the way rather than stopping at the pre-set pressure. I have also tried a sub $10 set off ebay and we wont even get into that.
I was gifted a pair of Stauns and have not looked back. If you require your tyres to be let down to the same pressure every time you hit the tracks, these are the way to go. If you like to modify pressures for different terrains or loads on your vehicle these may not be as useful.
But yeah, this is a good price.
Re: different terrains or loads and varying pressures, you could always set a pair at say 18psi, then a pair at a lower or higher pressure and mark them as such.
Good tip. This is what I'm planning to do, have 2 setup for beach driving and the other 2 for general off-roading.
Yes and no. Most of those are the type to remove the valve core completely and have a gauge. You have to slip the gauge sleeve down part way to check pressure and unless you time it right, keep deflating and checking. I have one of these and its hard on the back and legs, not awful as a device though.
The Stauns you just pop one on each valve (theres 4) and by time you walked around and fitted one to each of the four wheels, the first is just about ready to come off and a the right pressure. No sustained squatting down while it deflates, stop and check, deflate more, check again, deflate, and that limiting of the squatting has value believe me. There are others like it, but without the same tried and tested reputation of hundreds of thousands of tyres over more than a decade without issues. Slow? Yep. But well worth it over any other type with the exception of one, that is no longer made.
Tyre Deflators - $57.60
I just use my finger nail…
Its no wonder your wife is leaving you.
Useless comment…
Regular nails work well too.
No you dont jv. You dont have 35" tyres at 40PSI road pressure then deflate to 8 or 12 PSI for sand. Then reinflate for road, then deflate again 60kms later, all with your nail. Even with these it takes time, with quick deflators its quicker but you have to keep checking them.
These, are the best of the type, you put one on, start it deflating, move to the next tyre, and by the time youve put the last one on, the first one is about ready to come off. They make it that simple.
Worth every penny, and many have paid $90 for them. Some of the cheaper ones at least make it clear why these are better. I cant say its true for all, but I do know these are the best of the best so just buy once. Sometimes, thats the bargain.
Thanks mate. Purchased!
why?
because you went against it so it must've been a good price.
because you went against it
no i didn't
Awesome price, i dont think i've seen them this cheap.
Dunno why people are negging jv, these are terrible. I have used them on race cars before to try and keep tyre pressures the same across all tyres during racing (as you know slicks heat up and gain PSI whilst racing and is bad etc). They can't keep up with the tyres gaining pressure, these would be even worse for drag racing.
Mmm dunno, but they are for off road as in four wheel driving and dropping the the pressures down for obstacles not stabilising temperatures on racing cars and drag racing. According to the manufacturer's website at least…
If you are circuit racing wouldn't you have a cold psi which will give you certain psi when at other temperatures and if you are using atmospheric air or nitrogen? Having these brass cajoles might throw your wheels out of balance too if you are using them like I think you are proposing…
Whats a better alternative?
I don't think Lightning McQueen there actually knows what these are for…as rodericb has pointed out.
No idea, we have to manually do the pressures. These and another type were recommended but failed to level up to what we hoped to achieve. I know they are for off-roading but normally off-road tyres are much larger than the slicks we use (7.5inch etc) so we hoped they would keep up but no :(
Try filling with nitrogen
It is banned in our racing classes.. no idea why lol
Terrorism, that's why! ;)
What is the pressure increase during racing?
Up to 25psi, really affects the sidewalls and how long the tyre overall lasts. Depends if a client is drifting (where delamination is a big factor). Drag racing not so much but circuit and drifting it is a big problem in hot days
eBay promo code, so highly doubtful
Now do it 3 or 4 times in a day, with 35s. You might do it once, but once you see someone use these youll be wondeing what kind of idiocy youre trying to prove by continuing not to use them.
Cheers great deal
Purchased. Thanks mate!
considering you can get a similar product for US$10.84/AU$13.50 delivered from aliexpress
or $15 off ebay…..
is there something about these that makes them worth nearly 4 times the money?
