ARB ANALOG Tire Inflator (ARB605B)

The ARB Analog Tire Inflator is identical to the ARB Digital Tire Inflator, but has an oil-filled dial gauge readout (both psi and Bar) and will be easier to use for some users because:

• There are no batteries to leak, deplete, or replace;
• There is only one display mode and both psi and Bar can be read simultaneously;
• Some people simply prefer the beauty and elegance of a dial gauge and find digital to be ugly or uninspiring.
  

Just as with watches, the analog readout is not "better" than digital.  Both systems work just fine and some people simply prefer analog to digital.

The new spring-loaded air chuck behaves like an automatic coupler and you can simply press it onto your tire's valve stem and the air chuck will lock automatically.  To release, draw back the spring-loaded collar and the air chuck will unlock.

The stainless-braided hose is 23.5" long, so there is no need to remain crouched or kneeling while inflating, deflating, or gauging.

To inflate, simply depress the thumb lever and release the lever to stop and gauge the new pressure inside the tire.  If you go over your target pressure, it is very easy to depress the side button to let some air out of the system and gauge again.  With inflate and deflate functions at your fingertips and automatic gauging whenever you stop, it is very easy and intuitive to reach your target pressure.

The dial gauge is filled with thin-viscosity oil and is not annoying to read.  When gauging, the needle will jump instantly to the pressure indicated and there is "oozing" of the needle moving ever so slowly toward the pressure readout as on some oil-filled gauges.

The head is covered with rubber armor to prevent damage from drops or hard knocks, and the stainless hose is covered with clear vinyl so that the stainless braiding does not scratch your wheels.

The input end of the Analog Tire Inflator is fitted with an Industrial Interchange plug for easy and quick attachment to and detachment from the High Temperature Air Hose from your ARB Air Compressor Pump Up Kit.

Storage bag is included.

While the Analog Tire Inflator has a side button to allow deflation, that procedure is more suited for getting the exact amount of air pressure in your tires rather than deflating them before hitting the trail.  For airing down your tires, far faster, easier, and better ways include:

• J.T. Brooks Automatic Tire Deflators Pro II
• Over-Sand Fully Adjustable Automatic Tire Deflators

In addition to having to air down and air up on nearly all offroad trips, approximately 90% of your trail fixes will involve tires.  So having a solid onboard air system on your 4x4 is mandatory. Acquire the tools and skills to perform tire repairs and you will be well on the way to becoming a compleat offroader.
