Got to AZ today from MN. (were retired "snow birds"). My Speedflate two-way kit was waiting for me......TYVM.
Changed my Smitty Built QC to the USA std. QC couplers and went to work getting all my tire pressures back up to speed after the hot weather.. Used the Speedflate system to air up my golf cart tires, car tires and 4 bike tires. My JLUR was still spot-on for tire pressure.....so I just did a test fit to my jeep with the coiled 25' extension air line I already had.
Decided to throw a QC tire chuck and blow gun into my bag to provide more air options on the trail........You never know when a damsel has an air-mattress that needs filling? Grin.
One thing I had not considered when using the two tire inflator set-up......was that by doing the front tires and then the back tires........you have to walk back and forth to get to the on-off compressor switch and then back to the Speedflate gauge and the air shut - off lever. I get pretty close on my line pressures .....but have learned to let them go a little too high......then shut off the switch.....and then easily bleed a little air out with the Speedflate valve - to desired tire pressure.
I may get a bit better with this after a few airings. Been thinking of doing right side / left side of my vehicle instead of front and rear method I had thought....in order to be closer to the controls.
I do like the way I get even tire pressures in all the tires you're connected to. Time saver.
Unsure the rate of deflation on 35" tires?.......may continue to use my old air-down methods for this task......but I do want to try the Speedflate method to determine amount of time to drop 35" tires from 30 psi to 15 PSI. Nice doing multiple tires to the exact same pressure with one read on the gauge.
This is gonna simplify my air-up / down. Good product. Good service. Lots less frustration with having those tire chuck connectors rather than squatting down and holding that Smitty Built connection against the valve stem to air up. Thanks!
