Staun Valves??????

Do you mean tyre deflaters ? if so they are great would not travel with out them , I have shopped around and most suppliers are within a few $ of each other , got mine from Opp Lock

Nobby,
Got mine a few months ago....FREE....from 4x4 Australia Magazine, after I entered a competition....had to say in 25 words etc etc.

I said something like.......

"People are mongrels, always letting me down; except my missus.
But if I had a set of Staun Tyre deflators, even she'd let me down".

They are brilliant at what they do; but you've got to set them to your desired cut-off pressures first.

I have 3 sets,and love them

Each set are at a different pressure,

8psi, 17psi and 25psi

you can get three types now (hence i have 3 sets)

Procomp in Narre Warren Sell em :D

They are great, most 4by shops sell them

I've got another type, the only problem is they never get the pressures exact, they never be quiet when they are told to and they eat all your food!
We call em kids. :-)

I bought some for my Eyre Peninsula trip . My mate scoffed at them when I bought them but he soon changed his tune when he had to let down the six tyres on his car and camper . Their great mate .( yes I let him use them )

Best thing since sliced bread, square pies and iced vovos.

They are too much for what they are.. Ive had a set for 12+ mths, used once! Dont even know where they are! Got em for free too.

Take a valve key with you remove the valve, count to 15 see how much it has let out, then if you need more do it.

but work out in the end that 20 seconds takes enough to get down 15psi on mine...

They are well made and very convenient! Having 3 sets at different pressures seems a bit extravagant.....I have one set of four but have three different pressures selected - 1 at 8psi, 1 at 15psi and 2 at 24psi I finds this works well as I am not usually in so much of a hurry that I need to let all tyres down at the same time!

I picked up a set from the Sydney 4wd Show for $60 and I agree they are an extremly useful tool. Well worth the $.

Bought mine from Opp Lock......excellent product...saves a lot of hassle...........as the kids say today.......COOL !!

Cheers

I've got a set and they are good but not very accurate. The packet says they're pre-set to 18psi but mine seem to vary from around 29psi down to 22.
I'll set them myself to about 18psi. They're good though, save time and effort.

Got a set at 18 psi, going to buy another set soon at 25psi. They're great wouldn't be without mine.

Thanks Guys.. You all confirmed my opinion on them. Off to the FWD store before my next beach outing.

Not all that difficult to work with one set.
1. Check calibration to ensure set deflation pressure for each ... easiest to do at the servo.

2. Mark this pre-set point with a fine tip permanent marker .. e.g at 25 psi.

3. One half turn either way from this point adjusts pressure by +/-3 psi.

4. What's so bloody hard about that.

5. Q.E.D.

I bought a set a couple of years ago when they first came out and took them straight back. They had the plastic stems.

They were too inconsistent across all four wheels ie. the pressures were all different by a large amount!

It's not much work to let 4 tyres down. What's the difference of a minute of two.

Save your money and invest wisely!

I've been told that you must use them on a reasonably regular basis otherwise a seal goes and they can't be fixed. I'm yet to confirm this with Staun as I've a couple of sets and only really use one setting. Hopefully it's not true.
I bought mine direct from Staun and negotiated a better price as I bought a whole heap for friends and acquaintances. This was before you could buy them at the corner store like you can now though. I found Lee at Staun to be very helpful and think that these are a great product
