Bit like a valve cap you just screw it on. It then let's the tyres down.
So I guess you put one on the first wheel, work your way around the car, have a quick lemonade to clear the throat and then take them off again. Assuming you start with the same pressure you will finish with about the same pressure.

Sounds similar to this

Same as using a stick but, you can do all 4 tyres at once and you don't have to bend down much. After a while you get a feel for how long it takes to get to your desired pressure, it's fast and simple. Then just use a gauge to fine tune the last few psi.
I think they were called Coastal Caps, I'd but more if I ever saw them again.
Cept you have to keep them in the car. I'd be wary of this as you forget about it or leave it too long you have to bust out the compressor before you even get to go off road!

doesnt sound any different to an old valve stem, with a 50cent valve core removing cap on it... you still have to monitor the pressure with both options which is what pisses most people.

Reread his post again. You have to read the post very carefully to work out the obscure minor clues he has left in the post as to who it was.

they have definately been named in previous posts.
the arb deflator is the shiz if you have money burning holes in your pocket.
removing the valve stems is the way to go!

And the link between inflating and Stauns is........
the link is that all my stauns are accurate every time, without fail.

my stauns move around a bit
but i love em. screw them on & go get a drink and watch every one else in the group stuffing around with tyre valves etc.

seeing as im a lazy bugger i like the stauns, we use them on our surf patrol ute as well, only problem is ur passengers getting them and playing with them, stuffing up the preset pressure. depending on the situation the said passenger then has the joy of deflating the tyres with a stick whilst i sit in the shade
