Review: Solid rechargeable extinguisher for a backyard shop, easy to mount and ready when needed - I bought this for my shop for peace of mind. I have not had to use it, which is exactly how I want things to stay, but the quality and setup are both reassuring. Mounting to the wall was straightforward, the bracket lined up well, and once it was on the wall the canister seated securely. The gauge arrived in the green and has stayed there through a couple of cold snaps and warm afternoons. Pros: • It is rechargeable. In my area a recharge runs about twenty five to thirty dollars, so I would rather service a solid extinguisher than keep buying disposables. • It is a multipurpose dry chemical unit, so it covers the common shop risks like ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids, and live electrical equipment - perfect for my shop. • Build feels right for shop use. The pin and seal are cleanly installed, and the canister finish looks durable. How I set it up: • I mounted it near the exit (right next to the door) so I can move toward the door while pulling it down. • I wrote the purchase date on an inspection tag and hung it next to the bracket. • I put a calendar reminder on my phone to glance at the gauge monthly. • I gave it a light shake to keep the powder from packing, which is a good habit for dry chemical units. (someone gave me this advice) I did all those things so I don't forget about it and it ends up failing when I would actually need it. Having it at the door makes sure I at least have to see it daily. The date on the unit lets me keep track of when it might need a recharge. The reminder (and the shake) will happen on the regular, ensure it will be ready if/when I need it. What stands out day to day • The gauge is easy to read at a glance. • The handle and pin feel smooth when I practice the pull aim squeeze sweep routine. • The size is manageable enough that anyone in the family can grab it quickly. Overall, this is exactly what I wanted for the shop. It mounted easily, looks and feels well made, and it is rechargeable so I am not throwing money at replacements. I hope it never leaves the bracket, but I am glad it is there. Five out of five stars and I would totally recommend this.
Review: Good fire extinguisher - This is a decent size and great for a fire extinguisher I have one on every floor of my house it easy to handle and great if you have a fireplace and it is approved by the local firestation and passed fire safty for my to use my fire place.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this extinguisher recommended for cars?**
A: This fire extinguisher, is an ABC extinguisher. That means it can put out any kind of fire. So, if you have a fire in your car, this fire extinguisher will put it out. However, fire extinguishers of this type have a chemical powder inside that puts out the fire. If the fire is in your engine, you can put it out with this fire extinguisher but getting this chemical powder all through your engine is probably not a great idea. Ideally, you should use a CO2 fire extinguisher. This is the type that you'll most often see on television. Has a great big cone-shaped nozzle and, when you use it, it looks like plumes of white smoke is coming out of it. This is actually carbon dioxide. It's extremely cold and this is how it puts out the fire. 

Just about any mechanics garage will have one of these. As you might expect, a CO2 fire extinguisher costs a lot more than an ABC fire extinguisher. A small 5 lb CO2 extinguisher would be more than adequate for your needs. You can probably buy a new one for about $200. Alternatively, you can call the local fire protection companies in your area, and ask them if they have a small (5 lb.) used but reconditioned CO2 extinguisher that they could sell to you. Tell him it's for your personal use and that you will come to their shop to pick it up. (By the way, unless you're keeping a fire extinguisher and a place of business, there's no need or requirement to have any kind of annual service or inspection.) A reconditioned small CO2 extinguisher shouldn't cost any more than $100. ("Reconditioned" simply means that the extinguisher has been used and refilled with more CO2.)

**Q: What do I need for a 2 story 1700 ft house**
A: Here's my fire extinguisher layout for my 1787 sqr. ft. home
(1) 4.5lb in the laundry room/kitchen pantry
(1) 4.5lb in my master bedroom closet (farthest part of my house)
(1) 10lb in my garage
(1) 4.5lb AUTOMATIC Flame Defender for the entrance to my safe room (previous owner built it, bought the home not knowing it was there)
(1) 26.4lb Automatic Flame Defender in my garage (sometimes I run a ribbon burner propane forge)
(2) 4.5lb in my SUV's hatchback, put out two vehicle fires (not mine)
Why so many? racing to get a fire extinguisher when a fire starts can be the difference between your house burning down, or saving the house and contents. Plus if you have pets, especially a feline, having a fire extinguisher close is never a bad thing.

**Q: How much agent does it have?**
A: It’s advertised as a ten pound Fire Extinguisher, but I can’t find that in the pictures here on the labels, but other answers are stating it’s only 5 pounds? So who knows, we needed 10 pound!

**Q: is this abc rated**
A: Yes. It says it on the cyclinder label.

*by J***H on December 10, 2025*

My smaller one in the basement garage expired. I'm glad I went with this larger unit. It's substantial and you never know when you might need it. I'm going to order 2 more for sensitive areas around the house. TY for providing a good product.
