Works very well. I debated what to use for tire deflation for some time, and I did a lot of research. I am god that I went this way. The Currie version is made by the same folks. I compared my ARB to a friend's Currie and everything matches, down to the crimp pattern on the hose. When I shopped this one was cheaper by a few bucks.
In some reviews I have read that these are made in Australia. This is incorrect. ARB is an Australian company, but these are a "stencil" product (made by a third party and branded for the customer at the factory) and the sheet in the bag states it was assembled in the US using foreign parts, I am assuming from China or Taiwan (just a guess). The build quality is excellent and the gauge is accurate.
Some people are stating in reviews that this is super slow. They are not reading the instructions completely and are making a mistake. (I did it, too, at first. Always PRACTICE with stuff like this at home so you do not look like a moron at the trail head!) The stem remover will unscrew the stem and not remove it fully unless you know exactly what that feels like. If it is slow then you have not removed the stem core completely. Period. That is the *only* issue with these. The design will not allow for other errors - this is it. You need to do this several times at home until you have the procedure down perfectly. Once you have this down it will work every time. Also, my rims have had tires replaced at different shops over the years, and the valve stems are not a matched set. One of them does not like this tool much and requires a bit of extra attention from me, so I would recommend that you not practice this on a single tire but on several, possibly on different vehicles, as stems do vary a little bit. (My ARB inflator has issues with the stem on this same tire. I need to have them all replaced when I get new tires.)
Highly recommended!
