4x4 unsealed did a comparo. The Kwiky came out worst only because it has a cheap metal o ring on the stem instead of a circlip. Accuracy was ok so if you just replace the metal o ring its still good for the job and cheaper than the winners @
$60 plus

Got a blister pack of circlips from SuperChina today and swapped the metal "o'ring" for a circlip. Can't pull it thru now so all good for my Kwiky deflator now

Definitely get a quality tyre pressure gauge. I just got back from a few days over at moreton and only had my cheapo gauge handy when lowering the pressures so lowered them to 15. Drove down to kooringal and she was labouring harder than usual. After we arrived and a few beers at the gutter bar, and 5 dozen farm fresh oysters for 50 bux from moreton bay oyster farm (thanks wade), I dug the good one out from the storage under the fridge, and it showed the pressures were actually 28!

Let them down to 15 (again) and on the way back it was like chalk and cheese. Even at full high tide on the soft stuff was a piece of piss with correct pressures.

This is really worth a read. Helped me a lot.
