Fire extinguishers -- answers more than questions

[bp71k5]

The problem I have with the product is that I can't find any truly independent reviews. I found one guy who DID test it, didn't have particularly good luck, but the manufacturer/vendor had chimed into the thread. He had a video up of the testing, but it was taken down (apparently by the guy who wanted to run the test in the first place) without explanation that I found.

It just seems off. I'm not necessarily doubting the product, but if it's as revolutionary as it seems, one would think all sorts of safety devotees would be reviewing it. Every video I can find on youtube is the Jay Leno bit, or uploaded by Element. No expiration alone would mean this product would potentially save tons of money for many businesses.

Yea. Since I have nothing in my K5 having something like that as a backup rather than nothing should help a bit. I would like to also get another one mounted on plain sight as well, maybe use a more traditional one in place of that.

I'm skeptical as well and I don't want to rely on them when SHTF. I have a couple Purple K's, still need to get them mounted to the cage.

I think the reason businesses don't use them is that they aren't UL certified so they would have to have regular extinguishers too

Any thoughts on this product?

Interesting, looks like it works quite well, and the price is almost too good to be true!

Now I'm gonna end up with all kinds of extinguishers in my rig haha

Exactly, they don't expire either.

Exactly, they don't expire either.

Still only rated as a class A Fire Extinguishers though.

This awards FireAde® 2000 a "TRUE" Class A and B classification approval.

Not A and B as stated in the beginning paragraph? A and B would be good for our usage, right?

It might be, I have a hard time weeding through all the marketing BS on that page. Even at AB it's like bringing a knife to a gun fight if you have a oil fire on your hands. I've personally seen a 2.5lb Halon (ABC) fail to extinguish an engine fire so there is no way in hell I would rely on a coke can of A or AB for that matter. It's just not something to be cheap about IMO.
