Kartech ,,, Used by go karters are pretty good... they go up to around 30 or 40psi depending on which model you get... around $45 - 65...

Very accurate and robust....

Anyone have experience good or bad with the ARB deflator/guage. I was going to pick one up but they were sold out....and I wasn't waiting for them to "get one in" :roll:

Homer I've only used mine a couple of times so far, but it seems pretty sturdy, and simple. So my experience so far is goood

Thanks mate 8-) , they look solid enough. The only problem is when I go into ARB I get an itchy trigger finger on the credit card :roll:

Yeah, i use mine a fair bit, depends if you want to vary your pressures.

I ran 12 psi on my coopers, no way i would run anything less than 15 on the dick cepek's.

If you just want to drop them to a set pressure all the time, get stauns, set and forget.

I was seriously looking at stauns after Bobp lent me his and I sat around drinking beer while they let all 4 tyres down for me by themselves 8-) 8-) actually there was about six of us standing around going 'hmmm tyre deflator gooood' like we'd just discovered fire or something (obviously my mates aren't real high up the food chain either), but I will vary my pressures and don't want to fart around calibrating them.

I've got one of the ARB deflators. Used it a few times now. Fairly quick with the bonus of being able to set to whatever pressure you want.
The only fault is that once I've finished with whitey trity and my mate has finished with his disco stu the ice hasn't had a chance to settle in our Rums..... :cry:

Yes, the ARB is very quick 8-) seems we've drifted off the gauge question and onto deflating and alcohmohol :lol: :lol: <insert drunk smilie here>

Thanks for the input everyone, went with the ARB Low Pressure gauge.
Very happy with it, although quite a large unit!
