Hey guys, it's that time of the year again when Bunnings takes on Aldi's upcoming catalog for fire safety gear! They've already made slight price undercuts on their fire extinguishers and blankets, so be sure to check it out.

Better off with CO2
Only is is a Class E (electrical) fire.
They have limited use on Class A (flammable materials) and B (flammable liquids) fires and are of no use/should not be used on Class F (cooking fat) fires.
It’s going to work fine on all of those because it’s removing the oxygen.

No it isnt, not reliably
As I said CO2 is only useful on a Class E (electrical) fire.

https://eadn-wc05-3713054.nxedge.io/cdn/pub/media/wysiwyg/ty…@spaceflight: I know what they’re rated for. CO2 works regardless.
Obviously others are more effective, but they also damage whatever they hit.
Is there anything for lithium batteries that doesn't cost hundreds?
Honestly, look into LiFePo4 upgrading your lithium products.
Non-flammable :)
Bucket of sand will do in a pinch
Almost nothing actually stops a lithium battery. It's become a technique to put EV's in containers full of water because of it.
It'll burn until it's done reacting with air. If you put it out, it'll re-ignite.
Seem to be all sold out near me in Vic.
Just a reminder that it's on sale in ALDI from 18 Feb,
so Bunnings will probably keep the price at least until 21 Feb.
No need to be hurry.I bought one of each last year-ish when the special was on at Aldi. How do I dispose of the extinguisher once it's reached its expiry date?
Got an office chair?
Video please
I meant after that.
Aldi doesn't seem to mention how many kg of powder their extinguisher contains.. Presumably 1kg?
What's a sensible size extinguisher for keeping in the house to tackle fires that are big enough to trigger a fire alarm?
the extinguishers are reduced to $10 if your local Aldi still has stock, picked one up yesterday

Better off with CO2. Then no humming and hawing about covering the house in powder.
