- čas přidán 5. 08. 2024
- We debutted these in our Kimberley series and honestly from Day 1 of using these....I've stopped using all my other tyre deflators, these are just so simple & conveinent to use. I go through the Pros, Cons & test them against my old deflator....so check out the video to see how they perform.

Happy, Safe Adventuring - Cheers Graham. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I use a release valve stem, I think it was from a company called Presision engineering. Bit expensive, but the valve stem has a release tab that you pull. Drops from 35 psi to 10 in about 10 seconds per corner. You simply remove the cap, pull the tab , and it literally 10 secs . Really handy if you want to drop the tire pressure on the trail multiple times to changing track conditions. I have had mine for more than a year and highly recommend. 5 min is not long, but in the Middle East with temps of 45+ c and 90% humidity in the summer…. Trust me, you don’t want to be sitting at each corner for any length of time
Been using mine for couple of years and they are fantastic
Thanks for this video. I'll definitely will be getting me a set. They've also gone up in price since you bought them, $174.00 now.
Good to see you love them still. Will be upgrading from Stauns sometime soon.
You won’t be disappointed…sorry if ive just spent all your money
I have a set and love them great Australian made product
Certainly are 👌🏻
Hi, great videos
What tyre pressure monitors do you use and are you happy with the accuracy?
I have 2 sets of stauns, set at 18 and 25 psi. It's the time not squating at your tyre that makes the difference. If yours had been around 25 years ago definitely would be using them. great comparison. Cheers
Are stains a good brand? They seem to be the only one as in walking to the shop and they are available instead of online. Thanks
Great review. I have a marginally cheaper version of these and doubt i will be going back to my ezy deflator anytime soon. So far they seem reliable and they always drop to the same pressure but it is worthwhile seeing how the pressure they are set to, lines up with your tyre pressure gauge as mine was a few psi different.
Yeah I think I touched on it - mine seem accurate 👌🏻
Nice video. I'm always worried about the manual one in case the valve comes out. There are so many different automatic tire deflators on the market now at Supercheap, Repco etc. I suppose they all do the same thing correct?
If you want to speed up the “ezy deflater”, disassemble it, find the hole the air escapes from and drill it out fractionally e.g. 3mm hole to a 3.5mm hole.
Personally I’ve gone to a morrflate duo+
Good vid Graham, how do you find the accuracy, and is it the same result each time? Have you seen Cams vid (wildtouring) on the other similar product that falls 50% of the time. The price has gone up since your filming.
Honestly I’ve never had one stay engaged & keep letting air out…..as for accuracy against their marked pressures, it’s always been +\- 1 psi. So yeah, no issues with any of that.
Thanks Graham. I agree, prefer to plug in and have a stretch rather than squatting at each tyre. The time it takes to deflate a given volume depends on a few things but also on tyre pressure - which varies. You can imagine deflating 50psi to 40psi than 20psi to 10spi for example. That means to do a comparison between the two deflation approaches, and to suit all starting psi's one might start with, you would need to do timings for say 50 -45psi, then 45-40psi etc. all the way down to zero. "Getting academic", I hear you thinking, "Damn right" but you know what they say, if you're going to do a job.....
What about the KISS approach?
40-20psi, it is about the standard amount everyone usually deflates by, hence the test being done across that range…..both tests started at 40 & finished at 20…..one was faster than the other 👌🏻.
@@great_offroad_adventures Kiss is good for construction, detailed is good for analysis. I'm suggesting to be exceptional at these kind of analysis videos you need to go into detail. Its always your choice and I respect that and will watch regardless, 'cause I like the channel and your style.
I'm already convinced about the preset deflators vs the one at a time type, but not because of speed. For me its convenience and saving my worn out knees and grumpy old back.
@@BenMitro LOL, I have the same back.
Audio was peaking quite a bit.. I have to get these types of deflators and give them a try. I normally just use the standard quick deflator.. removing the valve etc.
Yeah mid shoot something changed on my wireless transmitter….which stuffed it, but I didn’t realise until editing 🤦🏻♂️.
@@great_offroad_adventures Its a risk when you dont monitor with headphones (like the Pros).. :)
Hard to monitor yourself, film yourself solo.
They look similar to the camp boss ones. I’m still trying to get them set right.
DFL8's were the first adjustable made in Australia deflators which were released into the market in December 2019. Campboss released a "very similar" version manufactured offshore in October 2020 - I'll leave it to you to read between the lines. One is made here, one is made offshore. I know where my money went and still does if anyone buys the DFL8 brand their money stays in Australia which is something I'm passionate about.
Hi Graham, have you gone back to Toyo tyres?
Not yet….still running and loving the Nitto Ridge Grapplers
Can you just connect them and drive for 5min pull up and take them off? Put your monitors back on Then keep driving?
Probably - you’ll have to get some and test that out
I've been using an ARB deflator for maybe 20 years and it takes no time at all to deflate four tyres accurately. Stauns were never accurate and each one kept changing set pressure. Inflating takes a lot longer.
Lucky these aren’t Stauns then 👌🏻
@@great_offroad_adventures Same principle, different design.
Completely different principle….the staun you had to set on your tyre and lock it into that setting….these you can set and adjust everytime you go to use them because they have graduations & marks for the pressures on them…..so they are always accurate and they never change pressure 🤷🏻♂️
@@great_offroad_adventures By principle I mean that it has an internal spring that is adjusted with the screw to set the air pressure at which the valve shuts off. The Stauns worked in exactly the same way. These simply have graduations (which you should check for accuracy) and a set bolt, but the way in which they operate is exactly the same. Eventually the springs will lose their tension and readjustment will be needed. The failure point is exactly the same, they just look fancier.
Where can you buy these in person? Cheers
In Perth - Hampdon Industries in Malaga
$174.00 😱
Very bizzare test? Why didn’t you actually let down all the tyres in the second test???? Doesn’t make sense at all. I hope you were sponsored for this test.
Copy of campboss 🤷🏻♂️ how the quality compare
Youy got the that the wrong way round bud. Campboss appeared in the market 10-11 months after DFL8 did; pretty sure you can summise from that as to who copied who and where your money is going. I'm happy to keep mine on shore and support our own country and not see it fund overseas interests.
