Mind if I try it on urs first?

Guess it depends on how often you actually air down.. 2 min a wheel really a big deal?
-
I have a set of Oasis that I got second hand and have worked just fine .

I agree.If you are looking for speed, I used to use this and it worked well.

Well, I seem to need to air down to just about nothing, (5 psi) and it seems a bit longer then 2 minutes a wheel. Plus, I don't do to well knelled over at extended periods of time. I know many people would rather not spend the money on simple things in life, but I don't mind. It's the simple things that go a long way...

Staun's or similar are nice but weren't worth the money to me.I air down all four at once and while doing that I can take time to
make sure my cargo is secure , check the fluids or anything else I may need or think of . -

Never came across this. This is pretty much what I would love to have. I don't like the adjustment type and then to remove and check with a separate gauge. Thanks Bill...

I use THESE
I saw one stick once (don't know the brand) and it flattened the tire to the rim. Does that happen much to anyone? -
What do you use?i use my kid. i tell her: 'air down,' then it's done.
seriously tho, she/i use these: http://trailheaddeflators.com/images/fullkit_web.jpg 'set it and forget it'

I don't bother checking the PSI when I remove them .
I just look for a nce bulge in the sidewall and call it good .
FWIW mine are set to 14psi and the street pressure is a mere 28psi . -

Bet it will happen to me! And the sad part is, it would be a new air down tool!!!

They don't have an automatic stop so you have to keep an eye on them but they're only $10. You can check the pressure with the deflator still on.

x2 on both points.
The linked item's the one I've had for 4-ish years and works awesome. A little tight on my stazworks wheels but that's just because the valvestem's on the inner half of the wheel. Takes mine from 25-ish lbs down to 4 in <15sec.
