How do you deflate your tyres?
A "lady" I once had a brief relationship with used a screwdriver to deflate all my tyres one night, including the spare. Not recommended on many levels.
@@dustyfarmer Damn, I assume she didn't unscrew the Schraders valves.
@@LockyourHubs4WDing Unscrewed no, screw loose yes, it was dark, she was in a hurry.
I used a small stick and blimey from 41.5psi it went down to 20 in no more than a minute! I have saved that magic twig in my centre console!
Sounds like a keeper, there might just be a market for them!
Thanks Legend. It's just as I thought... I'll be sticking with my 20 year old ARB analog gauge. Batteries haven't run out in that one yet and it's just as good as the modern one.
Every bit as fast. I think I'll stick with mine as well! (The digital one was borrowed for the vid)
How do you not have more subscribers. Great job. Love your humor, data and videos. Keep up it up for us riding desks during the day. :)
Thanks mate!
Thank you for this review. It was well done. Helped me make a very informed decision!
Glad I could help!
Great video, your presenting style is nice and relaxing. We just got the ARB LINX system, with the air compressor control module to automatically inflate/deflate to a preset pressure. Will be interesting to see how it compares to these times.
Our testing indictes that it's hard to beat a deflator that removes the schrader valve. On the other hand, the flow rates that are generated by high output 12v compressors including the ARB twin, isn't enough to warrant removal of the valve core for inflation.
Another great video, thanks heaps 👍
Thanks mate!
Thanks, I've been thinking of getting a deflator and now I know which one to get.. the analog. ;)
I think most won't bother to upgrade.
@@LockyourHubs4WDing I just saw the price also .. yeah ill have 5 thanks.. NOTTTT...
Thanks for another great video.
One difference between the analogue and digital deflators is that the digital one is MUCH easier to read accurately. The analogue unit makes it very hard to be accurate with pressures.
They can be a challenge to read without squinting! And it's like chalk and cheese in low light. I just wish the light stayed on a little longer.
I have the analog deflator and the digital inflater. I have found they are both as accurate to read and compare well with each other. They have 1psi difference between the analogue and digit.
You can air down faster with the inflator by pushing down on the fill lever so air comes out the nitto fitting.
Thanks, I'll have to give it a go.
It's what I have, and I use the inflator lever to deflate. When compared to others using tools that remove the core the time is very close. Other advantages of using the inflator over those that remove the core is that you can't get it wrong and end up without a core, and you are not undoing a seal that was working. I know many have never had an issue but I have seen some people struggle getting the core back in.
@@LockyourHubs4WDing It will come out the open nitto fitting faster than the in-place tyre Shraeder valve will flow, I'll bet it's the fastest air down of the lot that way, plus no chance of ripping the seal or cross threading the Shraeder valve & save time removing & replacing the valve.
@@dustyfarmer OK! I've tested it (under lights!) The vid will be up tomorrow.
And here's the answer! czcams.com/video/D4X93EPlaV8/video.html
hi there great video how do you call the title attachement at the end of the deflector or inflator the part that you bought on eBay
It's a screw on air chuck.
What fitting did you buy to make it a screw on chuck for the inflator?
That's a Goodson screw on air chuck. The clip on style, while faster to use, always eventually seem to leak on me.
Nice vid I reckon I'll get an arb digital inflate. Also where did you get the screw on part from could I get a link?
I've got the standard arb hose and it leaks like no tomorrow.
Could you do a headlight video next comparing a few types?
@@texminchin4062 I've been thinking about looking at the different light technolodgy types, like laser, HID, LED and Halogen. It's not as cut and dry as most people think.
@@LockyourHubs4WDing looking forward to it!
@@texminchin4062 These aren't the exact ones I bought, though very similar www.ebay.com/itm/GODESON-Tire-Air-Chuck-Heavy-Duty-Screw-on-Tire-Air-Chuck-for-Tire-Inflator-G/223543492733?hash=item340c3b007d:g:oIYAAOSw4aRc-ZF9
@@LockyourHubs4WDing great thank you!
What happens when you use the main grip lever of the inflator (rather than the deflation button on the side) to deflate? Any faster?
The answer is one click away! :) czcams.com/video/D4X93EPlaV8/video.html
Using an inflator to deflate? 😂 I think the deflation button is used for a small deflation if you overfill on inflation. Difference is that you are removing the valve pin with the other deflators. I had one fail once and lost all my air and pin. Lucky I had some spares in my tyre repair kit 🎉
You're right, though I've seen quite a few people use their inflator to deflate.
@@LockyourHubs4WDing great video though. I like the comparisons 👏
I’m not sure if I missed something there but it’s a little unfair to include the inflator in that test as it’s only really designed to deflate by small amounts....1 or 2 psi if you’ve over inflated your tyres. Good video though 👍
Primary for comparison, as most will have the inflator already, though might be contemplating a dedicated deflator.
The battery isn't really an issue. I have been using my inflator for 4 or 5 years and it only ran out of batteries just recently (factory set). Put in some lithium primary cells and they won't self discharge and will probably last longer then your car.
Not the mighty 80! I'll probably be buried in that car! :)
@@LockyourHubs4WDing sure. Let me rephrase, it will outlast the battery in YOUR car 😉
G'day mate...how the heck did you remove the clip-on connector on the ARB Digital Inflator. I have purchase a screw on connector like you have but I can't for the life of me remove the clip connector!!!
Unless they've (ARB) have changed the design, they are a 1/4" bsp/npt screw on fitting on the bottom. I'll look into it
@@LockyourHubs4WDing yep still 1/4 npt...maybe I'm just weak....my spanner won't budge it at all
They use some sort of dope/sealant on them instead of teflon tape. Just pop it into a vice and have at it! It's a conventional right handed thread, so just lefty loosey!
@@LockyourHubs4WDing cheers mate the vice did the trick. I put the screw connector on but didn't add any teflon tape (and all the dope/sealant is now gone)...leaks quite bad so now I need to get some teflon tape. Cheers
@@shaunk3449 glad to hear you've almost got it sorted. I have a personal hate for clip on air chucks, I've never found on that doesn't leak after a while.
Throw in some lithium AA’s will get you considerably long later fe over the alkalines 👍
Couldn't see too much with your big hand blocking everything.
I'll be sure to don the cloak of invisibility next time! 😁
