Technical Element Fire Extinguisher - who said there is nothing new under the sun?

I have contacted the U.S. dealer, and he has sent me the contact details of someone here who sells them. I rang, and left a message, I'm still waiting........

 

Yes. They are not USCG approved, yet.

 

Is there a seller in europe or is it just available in the US/Canada?

 

BTTT

 

Thanks for that info.

 

So after having HRP bring this to our attention, I got other car buddies that wanted these as well.

Is a 10 pack and will save you about $10/each purchasing them that way

 

The only potential problem I can see would be that of a fire in an elevated wind situation where the velocity does not appear to be as great as a traditional fire extinguisher?? I'm ordering 2 myself though.

Thanks for pointing this out Danny!

Much more convenient than the big extinguishers. I just ordered one & after I get it & have it in my hand I will probably order a couple more.

Thanks, but the seller is based in the US and don't ship to Germany, not sure about the rest of europe.

 

So these are made in Italy but not sold in Europe?

 

I’ve just ordered one of these, I’m in the uk

Just think of the mess it would save if the fire was in your garage. Might even save your shop/ house from burning down.

 

I see tons of advantages. Are there any downsides compared to a traditional extinguisher?

 

wow thats kool i just watched the jay leno using it .thats the way to go little expensive but our hot rods are worth it....

 

nice. great place for it .

 

Thanks for this, Danny - I ordered two - one for my little camper and another for whatever hotrod I am driving at the moment. Besides their better fire fighting ability, they are nice and small/light. No more big bottles sliding around!

 

Only downside I see is there is no trigger. You set it off and you have 50 seconds to work. That said, I just ordered one for my '40. All of my other cars have a conventional extinguisher, but the chrome ones cost even more than this and this will fit in the glove box.

 

Mine came yesterday, 2 for 150.

 

Just got one the other day. It would be interesting to know how much their sales went up because of this thread.

 

Mine were waiting on the front porch Friday evening. One is in the door pocket of my OT daily. Now to get a HAMB friendly ride to put one in. lol

 

This is the cheapest source I found in Canada-

I bought a couple last year after seeing the Leno video, at $109.49 Cdn each they've gone up five bucks since then.

 

Mine just came today!

Now that I have one in my hand, I will order a few more. I will keep one in each of my transporting trucks, one for whatever cruiser I happen to be driving & will give one to Mom & Dad. They are in their 80's & can't handle a big extinguisher anymore.

God Bless

I ordered two of them. Mounted one of them in the Cyclone yesterday. I also have an ABC sodium bicarbonate unit between the seats.

 

Thank you so much. Fire is my biggest worry.

 

I got mine delivered today! After seeing the quality, I plan to order a couple more. Thanks Danny for bringing it to our attention.

 

Sounds interesting, but it doesn’t seem to shoot very far. Each video I watched had the person pretty close to the fire - not sure that’s where I’d want to be. The small size is intriguing though.

For reference, a 2 1/2 lb dry chemical extinguisher that many of us carry (me too) lasts about 10 seconds. A 10 lb one lasts much longer and has a much greater discharge rate, but few of us lug those around in our cars.

Most CO2 extinguishers are very large, very expensive, but are great tools.

30+ years as a firefighter.

 

Fantastic idea. Ordering one today for the 53. Thanks for sharing!

 

Bump. Any new news on these? Bought time I broke down and bought a couple. $80 free ship on auction site.
