Hello all,
Just thought I would do a quick write up on a tyre deflator I bought a while back, sorry if its a little long, still practicing with write-ups, also I have no affiliation with the manufacturer.
When I was doing lots of sand driving where I was letting my tyres down almost every weekend, I was getting a little tired of kneeling next to each tyre for 5 minutes at a time using a stick to push the valve in, checking every 30 seconds or so and having sore legs afterwards.
So I had a hunt on ebay for tyre deflators, came across the ferret deflator for a little over 20 dollars at the time (30 dollars now) paid on a tuesday, had it by wednesday, so arrival time was great!!
The way it works is it screws onto the valve, you then unscrew the core, it stays in the little unit (no more valve cores buried in the sand!), and it lets out so much air, roughly 1psi per second, once you let out the right amount, you screw in the core again and remove the tool from the vavle.
When I first tested it I was in the driveway, all I can say is WOW! it deflated the tyre so bloody fast! As the demo video stated, it lets out aprox 1psi per second, and timing it by my watch was basically spot on! i was running 35 psi at the time, had it down to 15 in roughly 20 seconds!
The next time I used it was sunday lol (nearly a year later
) my uncle has a rodeo, running 36psi, he went down to 18 using a stick and guage lol.
I have the pajeo running 45psi, I aired down to 18 with the ferret deflator and guage, needless to say I finished all four while he was still on his second!! and i had way more air to let out!
Have timed it all and can install the delator in roughly 7 seconds, unscrew the valve core in 3, deflate in 27, screw in valve core in 3 and remove in 7, so basicall it takes me 50 seconds to let down one tyre (previously 4mins+).
All up I would definitely recommend these to anyone, 30 bucks is still way cheaper than most deflators out there and these really work well.
