Air down chuck

Hi Guys,

Looking for a suggestion for a "rapid air down" air chuck. Forgive my lack of a vernacular with this subject. I don't know how else to describe what it is I am looking for.

It takes me a heck of a lot longer to air down tires offroad than it takes for me to re-inflate them and am wondering if their is a solution for this.

Thanks for any suggestions!

G

Back in the day (two decades ago and more), I used to use these:



I did a quick check and haven't found these, so I assume they are no longer available. They were Quick Air brand. They simply screwed onto your valve stems and started letting air out of your tires. They allowed checking your pressures with a gauge as air was let out. The more they were screwed on, the faster they released air; so I could easily control how fast I deflated as I walked about checking pressures. As you can see, they screwed together and I kept them in the glove box of my '02 Tacoma TRD. They were inexpensive, I paid $12.99.

A friend of mine had these:

They did the same thing, but were far more expensive.

If you're not using the above multipiece screw-on type units,
try using one of the tools below (doesn't have to be ARB)

They unscrew & trap the valve core to allow the air to escape much
faster than simply depressing it.

Bunch of ways to deflate a cat, so pick your budget and get low!
