Tire
Deflators. What you want in a deflator
is a tool that can air your tires down.
Sounds pretty simple right? Well
believe it or not, it goes a little more in-depth than that. Sure you can always go old school and use
your house key to let the air out but this can take extra effort, time,
and isn't very accurate. On the market
today there are various brands and styles of deflators and each work
differently in their own way.
We
purchased a set of The J.T. Brooks Automatic deflators and they immediately
stood out from other deflators that we had used over the years. From their accuracy
to their durability let's break down the J.T. Brooks deflators and see why they
standout above the rest.
Easy to set. Off Road Consulting airs down several hundred
tires a year, and when we have a group or individual who are interested in
purchasing the J.T. Brooks deflators they are easy to explain and demo on how
to set. The instructions say to:
Deflate a tire to desired pressure
Then screw
on J.T. Brooks deflator
Back off a hair and tighten set screw
Easy
Accurate. Nothing is perfect
when it comes to psi on tires because there are way too many variables.... For instance temperature, weight of
vehicle, type of valve stems, moisture in tire, tire balance beads...the list
goes on. What Off Road Consulting likes
is that the J.T. Brooks are accurate to the point that you can actually just
count exposed threads on one of the deflators and then make the rest match and
they will all be within a psi or two. Again,
very simple to set. The J.T. Brooks stay
within a psi or two, unlike the competition that could fluctuate 5-10 psi. It is nice to be able to trust the J.T.Brooks
Automatic Deflators and know that they will stay where you want the psi.
They shut off. Sounds pretty silly right? Isn't that what they are supposed to do? Most deflators are designed to shut off,
however, there some other brands that have a habit of sticking. You will
appreciate deflators that stop when they are supposed to. There is nothing more
frustrating than attaching deflators to
your valve stems, walk away only to come back to find your tire or tires are flat . There are a few reasons why deflators stick
such as temperature and dirt. Off Road
Consulting uses deflators 5-10 times a week and we need them to be reliable,
especially when we use on a customer's vehicle.
Our J.T. Brooks deflators have seen many diverse vehicles with various
wheel and tire setups. They have seen exposed to extreme heat and cold weather,
rain and snow. Through it all there has never been an issue with J.T. Brooks
deflators sticking.
Deflate easily. Again, sounds like
they are just doing their job right? Tire deflators are supposed to DEFLATE!
But not with all types. We have used
some brands that you have to tap, unscrew and rescrew multiple times for them
to start...who has time for that? With
J.T.Brooks Automatic Tire Deflators if you happen to have an issue such as dirt, weather, etc. that
causes the deflators to not automatically start deflating, just pull back on the activation knob and they start going to work. This also works if you want to
let just a little more deflation. Simply pull and hold plunger and it decreases
the air manually.
Stop quickly. When you are working with multiple vehicle types,
weights, etc. not all of them use the same pressure. It is good practice to watch the tire bulge
as they are airing down. If you need to
stop quickly just push in the plunger and the J.T.Brooks deflators will
stop.
Pro series. Need to have psi flexibility? With the J.T.Brooks
Pro Series they allow you to set the pressure by using a precision laser engraved PSI scale. (See picture
below) instead of going through the setup process again for each vehicle you
are airing down. This works extremely well when you have a group of mixed
vehicles and need to adjust differently to meet the air pressure needs of each individual
vehicle or vehicles with low profile tires or heavy trucks.
Off Road
Consulting has been using J.T. Brooks deflators for a few years and we have
been very impressed with their durabililty, precision, and dependable design.
Made in the USA, we recommend this product to our customers and other avenues
in the off road industry. Next time you need to air down and reach for that
key, consider investing in a set of J.T. Brooks Automatic Tire
Deflators....they are faster and more accurate than that key!
