      If it's getting close, should I set a fire so I can use it or?

      But seriously, plussed because it's no surprise alot of people don't check

      • Yes - you light a (safe) practice fire outside, and you practise using it. If you have kids, it's worth letting them have a go, too.

      • They'll also have a pressure gauge you can read. I've had mine for way too long and it's dead (needs regassing). But I am guessing it's much cheaper to buy new than re-gas these things?

    • would it just be less effective or wont work at all?

    These could be the best bargain you buy…

    Thanks OP. Just in time for Valentines Day incase the $50 roses from Aldi are sold out.

  • Anyone have any thoughts on keeping one of these in their car? Getting an extinguisher for my car is something I've been planning for a while. I understand that these (dry powder) leave a mess when used, but when the alternate is to let your car burn, I'll take it. Just wondering if a fire extinguisher with foam is a more preferred option.

    • Makes a good road rage weapon but that's about all

      Your car on fire will leave a "mess" also

    • I have one but it's from Supercheap, which kind of looks exactly like this one.
      Mess wise i don't know, wouldn't the foam stuff be just as messy as powder type anyway?
      As long as they can deal with all 3 classes of fires (ABC) that's all that matters. You'll normally see something about ABC or BC type etc. You'll obviously would try to get one that's ABC powder type to cover all classes of fires.

      • Hmm, mine says BE and made in the USA.

        • Class A - Carbon based fuel
          Class B - Liquid hydrocarbons
          Class C - Gaseous Fuel
          Class D - Oxidation/combustion of metals
          Class E - Electrical

          I'd personally prefer a foam based extinguisher as DCP will eat out your car's metal (let alone wiring/instrumentation etc. Even if you could salvage a $135k car on fire, you may end up having to dispose it off completely. With 10sec capacity I'd doubt if DCP will be a better choice over foam.

        • BE ones are normally meant for home use.

    • If your car is on fire you might aswell let it keep burning and claim a write off payment from your insurer. Win - Win

      • +1

        Not of it's burning on a track

      • It's a classic imported car. It's currently well insured, and not super rare, but finding another that is similar in all the areas that I want would be a massive pain in the ass.

          Would you still drive around a half burnt car?

        • +1

          @Homr: You wouldn't, you'd fix it up before driving it again.

        • Depending on how modified…

          You can get fire suppressor systems installed but to be honest… if it's worth a bit of coin, don't cheapen out on an extinguisher. Google and see what everyone else is running. You may want a small one like this for the passenger side and a bigger bottle in the boot

    Thanks OP bought 50,000 for my start up competitor to SpaceX

    Just a heads up for those who haven't done fire training at work - a 1kg dry powder will give you no more than 10 seconds of full spray before it runs out! This is more than enough for most situations, but pleeeeeeeeeeease don't think these things work for a full minute or two like they do in the movies.

  • If you own a classic volkswagen then you own a few fire extinguishers :)

    I got the fire blanket more than a week ago for the same price at Bunnings. I find the overlocking on the edge comes off with minimal handling and they become stringy very quickly, however most people will just have them in the bag for years as a just in case method, while my 10 year old son uses it every couple of weeks.

  • I found my extinguisher had lost charge despite any use, so will buy one of these.
    Everyone please check yours. Probably cheaper and safer to buy a new one than to re-pressurise an old one.

    • Mine too, though mines over 10 years old so it's to be expected. It did last many years at reduced pressure though, it's completely depleted of pressure now however.

    Just bought a few extinguishers and blankets for my kids' homes. Bunnings are also price beating the Aldi smoke alarm deal. Aldi is $12.99. Bunnings have dropped their equivalent from $14.90 to $12.89.
