Is there a tire deflator where you can set the final psi you want it to deflate to?

Reading your posts and adding the replies to my Amazon wish list has tripled my wish list length. You are not making my wife happy......

Hahaha! That literally made me laugh out loud. Hopefully Santa will read your Amazon wish list and be generous with you this year. (I hope you've been good.)
Try Coyote Enterprises automatic deflators. They are an improvement to the Staun design and far superior to the cheap Chinese knockoffs. [I have tried all three.]
One doesn't "dial in" a desired pressure that can be varied at will, instead they are calibrated to a specific pressure so they work best in situations where one airs down to the same pressure each time. For situations where one typically airs down to different pressures each time depending upon the particular conditions on a given day something like the ARB or Currie deflator would be a better option.

I had a set of Stahn deflators that were adjustable. They didn't always work well and they were inconsistent in where they would stop deflating.
I recently bought the ARB deflator and it works amazingly well. You can only do one tire at a time, but it deflates extremely fast because it pulls the valve core. Currie makes an identical deflator, but I bought the ARB because the pouch looks more durable.

All of the Staun/Coyote type deflators can be adjusted to a specific destination pressure, i.e., 12 psi, 14 psi, 16 psi etc. They are not designed to be quickly adjusted to different pressures in the field.
I have experimented with Staun, Coyote and several of the cheap Chinese knockoffs. The mechanisms in the no-name deflators would frequently stick resulting in inconsistent final pressures. The Stauns were significantly better but not perfect. Harry Llewellyn's Coyote deflators are a definite improvement over the Stauns and have provided me with consistent results every time I have used them - without exception.
Stauns are Australian and Harry Llewellyn has been the U.S. distributor since they were first introduced. However, after a management/ownership change at Staun, Harry was able to introduce his own "made in U.S.A." Coyote Enterprises product based upon his own R&D and his own U.S. patent that addressed the Staun issues. Harry will still sell you Stauns if that is what you prefer, but Harry's Coyote deflators are better and actually costs less.
My advice is to avoid S*ittybilt, Rugged Ridge and other similar re-branded cheap Chinese knockoffs They are slower, less accurate and prone to sticking. Most negative comments about automatic deflators involve one of these rather than a genuine Staun or Coyote deflator.

Yes. Purchase here: https://www.coyoteents.com/shop/
Tip: Purchase the "blems" if you want to save a few bucks. There is nothing wrong with them - some had the company name engraved upside down otherwise they are perfect.

I thought I liked my auto-deflaters, went to use them the other weekend and they didn’t release any air. I had set them for about 12psi a month before. The ARB was used and got 3 tires done to my one(done the old fashioned way).

I have a set of auto deflators and the ARB deflator and I find myself coming back to the ARB option.
I think the reason is that I'm 100% sure I've got the desired result.
When I used the auto deflators I'd find myself double checking each tire before setting off down the trail which ends up taking longer then doing each tire one at a time with the ARB option.
Anyone interested in a secondhand set of auto deflators going cheap.

I have cheap auto deflators. I put them on at home and drive to the trailhead, ready to go! I don’t freak out about equal pressure. However, I’d love me some Coyotes. Thanks @Mr. Bills for the informative comments.
Plus, did I say auto deflators are far and away the easiest, way easier than ARB, especially a good set!

Thanks, but I don't claim to be an expert on deflators. For real information read the how-to's and technical articles on the Coyote Enterprises website.
That’s what I’ve been reading since I left the forum. I’m back now, and sold on these. A little pricey, but you get what you pay for.
I have used the same set of Staun deflators for 11 years. Never had a problem with them. I just keep them clean and they work great every time. I set them for 10 front and nine rear. Put a blue sharpie mark on the rears so I can tell them apart.
