Great video and I certainly gave a thumbs up. But I think the time comparison should include removing the auto deflators which would probably take 30 - 45 seconds. This would put the time difference close to a 1 minute difference. Having said that, like one the other comments stated, being able to screw these on and continue on the trail is nice. But it's also important to bring up the fact that these will need to be removed before doing any wheeling depending on valve stem angle and how much they protrude from the wheel.
SSPshooter72 .. I had been using the standard tyre deflator (his first demo) but due to motorcycle injuries and disabilities from that, it became too painful with the bending over(back and knee), so, I bought a set of JT Brooks and a set of Staun but could never get a reasonably constant reading on either set. I couldn't do any good using the markings on the autos and had to use the method, (air down to your required pressure then adjust each TD to suit.BUT ! I then found that didn't work either, so far as accuracy on each tyre. So, what I have done now is, I have each TD numbered 1 to 4 and each one goes only on a specific tyre....and now, all is good.
Finally! Someone that compared the time to deflate. I currently use the arb but staying on my knees for all tires sucks. Gonna get some JT brooks type of deflators. Thank you!
great video again! i have both and totally agree. i only use my JT Brooks now and glad i dont have to keep bent down to monitor tire pressure. i air down often so to me the cost is worth it.
The advantage to the ARB is that I use different tire pressures, when off roading, depending on the type of terrain I’m traversing. And the price difference is significant. No doubt there will be plenty of off roaders who will prefer the convenience of the J T Brooks.
Thanks for the input - you have a valuable point. I will say that it is rather easy to set the desired pressure on the JT Brooks units, but it does take a bit of fine tuning to get them all accurately set. Thanks for watching!
The benefit of auto deflators is you can screw them on at the trailhead, start driving in, then stop and pull them off. This is what I do while hunting, on freezing cold Wyoming mornings. A couple minutes of lost time total.......
This is really 10 minutes of kneeling down hurting your back vs a minute of screwing and unscrewing 4 valves. The time it takes the auto deflators to auto deflate is irrelevant, since that time can be spent on other things, even if just doing nothing.
Actually I just found them - Mamba Type M23. What are your thoughts on them? Have they held up pretty well to wheeling with them? I haven't been able to find much info on them as to weight, etc. Thanks for any input.
Yes, you are correct. They’ve done pretty good but have taken some damage out on the trails. Of course no wheel goes unscathed when crawling rocks. I didn’t weigh the wheel but each tire and wheel assembly weighs right at 89lbs.
Great video! Thank you for sharing! We appreciate your support!
Thank you too!

You make some very good points!

Your knees will thank you!

On a personal level, I agree! The convenience is worth the price. Thanks for the feedback.
Thank you for your feedback, Kevin!
Thank you for your feedback, Kevin!
Your review was key to confirm my decision on purchasing the JTB deflators, Thank you!
Thanks Marcio! Happy Wheeling!

That is a good benefit!
Big difference is JT BROOKS products are made in the USA!🇺🇸
Very good point. Sadly, it is becoming harder every day to buy American.
And that makes all the difference in the world. Buy from anywhere except China. They are taking over the world because we want to save a few bucks.

You make a very good point! It is time saved and to me that was totally worth it.
What wheels are those?
