ARB EZ Tyre Deflators

[bru21]

The arb is only good if you use valve caps and the valves are clean.
1 grain of sand is all it takes.
Found out the hard way on a recent beach trip letting my old boys down.
Total flat by the time he realised.
I never let mine down

Not so keen to use it now. It is also cracked right out of the box.

I carry a 'Ryano spare box'!!!! arb punchure repair set with extra valves etc - keeps me out of trouble! Free plug for Ryano!

Strange failure - i can't see how that would happen!! Now that you have a new one, care to disect the old one and see what the situation is in there?

Mate, myself and 10 of my mates that own them are still left scratching heads as to how it got stuck in there!!
I had to send the old one back to ARB.
I did ask for some feedback as to why it happened but i doubt i will see any reply.

slightly off topic - but has anyone created/modified one of these deflaters to pull the valve core when inflating tyres?

i'm no engineer, but logic tells me that if a tyre deflates faster without a valve stem, then it must also inflate faster without one too.

Unless your running an endless air i cant see a valve core causing inconvinience to most 12v compressors (the new ARB twin motor might be the exception)

currently an endless air 6cfm with plans to add a tank and the arb twin motor compressor... i.e. 12cfm

inflating one tyre is not a big deal, but if you inflate 5 cars worth of tyres in a row - it starts to make a difference.
