I can never get the stauns to stay on the present level... I set them dwon to like 15psi, and when i go to use them the next time, one time is at 30, the other is at 0.
I never did like them. I like these:

Specifically, I use the 4X4 gauge. You can buy it at most parts stores.
Just let it go and release the button every now and again to get the accurate reading. They work like a charm. I've got 5 currently. I keep two in whatever Rovers I have, as well as a few other gauges, one in each other car, and another in the shop.
For inflating, I just blow it a few PSI over, and use these to drop it back to the level I want. I am very particular about that sort of thing.
I love them. I test them against each other regularly, as well as against other gauges, in order to make sure the readings aren't off.
They also offer the deflator at the top of the page, but I've never used it. I'd be willing to bet most of these come from the same place. In fact, I'd be willing to say that the ARB is essentially the same.
They've both got the same patent number on them. Note that the ARB uses the exact same rubber armor that my 4X4 gauges use. When I say the exact same housing, I mean the exact same armor, from the same manufacturer, even in the same color.
The Currie even says right on the front that it's made by the same company. That ARB is a simple private label.
Have a look at that ARB again. Now, look at this:

Same thing, they just use one of their other housings for the ARB, the housing used on my own gauges.

Look, it's the ARB! Oh, wait. It's another Accu-gauge manufactured by Burkey, again using the 4X4 rubber armor.
So, I'm using the gauges from the same manufacturer, and yes, they kick major ass. I'm sure the deflator does, as well; whether or not it has ARB printed on it.
Still, buy the one Justin sells. He is doing a great job over there. Regardless of who made it, those are high quality products, and you know you all like ARB printed on things.
His price is right for the ARB, and you get a cool pouch to put it in. On top of that, Burkey gets a nice pat on the back for a high quality product. I also like the orange circumferential ribbed armor better than the black spoke armor. It's just as effective, it takes up less room, and it doesn't snag on things.
Bah. It's worth it.
