    Hi Guys,

    Sorry to be a pain but could anyone recommend what deflator I should start with. I’ve been to look and it seems there’s a huge variation in cost and type. My Jeep has a built in compressor with gauge so I’m guessing that’s fine.
    Thanks in advance

    Dear John,

    Please check the attached pictures. Basic Valve remover tools costs between 5 to 10 AED and gauge will cost about 25.

    Its takes a bit longer to deflate with device u shown, I found set which Francis had shown a lot more comfortable and faster.

    You know you are a true offroader when you correctly guess your tire pressure after deflation ๐Ÿ˜•
