Review on ๐Ÿš€ JACO RapidFlow Tire Deflator with Gauge - Efficient 0-60 PSI Off Road Air Down Kit for 4x4 Vehicles by Seth Damain

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Two bad cases in a row

Not sure if it's a quality control issue or something, but I've had TWO of these in a row (original purchase and replacement) that I've had to replace. I have since decided to spend a little more on the ARB and am much happier. The bottom line is that there are too many "sumps" in the center piston, allowing it to move relative to the tire valve. This will cause it to bind in the valve stem, mislock or, worst case scenario, twist completely. Even when I was extremely careful and pretended to play the game of "operation" by holding the tool precisely and pressing down on the valve core very gently, it was still very successful in terms of success. In contrast, the ARB block works every time without problems. By the way, I don't use any special valve stems, bead holders or anything out of the ordinary. My valve stems are regular rubber stems sold at any tire shop (actually an OEM with a TPMS sensor built in). I think you get what you pay for but based on other positive reviews on this product either the quality has dropped or I was just unlucky and had two bad units in a row.

Pros
  • SMART DISPLAY - Features a high-resolution 2.5-inch LCD digital display, battery indicator, and bright LED backlight for better visibility in the dark. The device is programmed to turn off automatically after 150 seconds of inactivity to save battery power (2 AAA batteries included)
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
