Anyone using Rapid air down valves? I'm about to get Raceline beadlocks mounted and was thinking of getting some. I see Powertank makes monster valves. Trail Ready has some too.

I've never been in that much of a hurry.
Ordinary Coyote deflators work for me.

I use Coyote deflators and they work like a charm.
@starkey480 recently got them as well and loves them. Honestly, they air down plenty fast in my experience.

Those work like the Staun?
I had some Rugged Ridge knock offs a while back. They were good for a couple trips, then would get out of whack. I'd have one wheel aired down to 9 (what I want), then one at 15 and another to 0. Threw them in the trash.

John has them. John has had me check them several times because his tires keep leaking down. John is sad because his RAD valves require lots of tightening to not leak air. John is also sad because they are not as tight in the rim as they should be so they turn when you try to tighten them to stop them from leaking.

I didn't install the valves in his rims. If I installed them, I think I could get them tight enough they wouldn't turn when you snug down the cap to stop them from leaking.
My coyotes all air down equally and consistently. It’s also nice that all 4 go at once. Just take the time to heckle your buddy about what line they will take through the gatekeeper
They are a prime example of knowledge does not equal understanding. Yep, you can copy something someone invented with your chinesium knock-offs, that doesn't mean you understand how to make them work well enough to get a patent on them. Harry at Coyote has both the understanding and the patent.

I might pickup the Coyote valves then. Currently using the ARB deflator which works well. Though it would be nice to have the Coyote if I'm running late since you could air down while you're driving on the fire road to the trail head.
Never tried the Coyote ones, but the ones I did try stank... I ended up buying the ARB tool.
Love my powertank monsters. Trick is using the taper tap properly. I can thank NashvilleTJ for going this direction.

Agreed, you have to screw it onto the valve. Better off with another tire gauge.
I start installing my coyotes and my tires are at the target by the time I get back to the one I started with.
I did watch this the other day and thought they were interesting but I wouldn’t choose these over my coyotes.
Really?
I have the viair quick tool... using that as a guage is really no diff from a reg tire guage.
You have to screw the arb to the valve stem. A normal pressure gauge would be easier and quicker.
