Buckeye 13315 ABC Multipurpose Dry Chemical Hand Held Fire Extinguisher with Aluminum Valve and Vehicle Bracket, 2.5 lbs Agent Capacity

Nice size for vehicle or home. I wanted one with a bracket and this fit the bill.

When danger flares and flames ignite, This Buckeye shines—a fearless knight. A twist, a pull, a squeeze, a spray, And fiery chaos fades away. It’s small but mighty, sleek and red, The kind you’ll want close by your shed. It tames the grease, it stops the spark, A hero tool—compact and stark. No fancy fluff, no gimmick scheme, Just solid gear, the real team dream. If safety’s what you’re aiming for, Grab one (or two!)—protect your floor. When smoke’s a threat and nerves are tight, This Buckeye makes wrong turn to right. So here’s my rhyme, my glowing cheer— The best extinguisher all year!

I haven't had to use this yet so fair warning to those wanting an after-use review. Hopefully I won't ever need to use it. But I bought this Buckeye extinguisher so I can mount it inside my truck. It's mounted on a br "Bracketeer" seat bracket. I will update this review if it leaks or any other new developments are found. I went with Buckeye cause its supposed to have a good reputation within the community and I believe they use a metal inner tube/valve which is important for vehicle mounted applications. Kiddie is notorious for being garbage because of their plastic inner tubes and valves, which caused recalls. So I steer clear from kiddie. The Buckeye came brand new in a glued manufacturers box with 09/18/18 stamped as date of manufacture (I bought this 10/05/18) so that's awesome that it's brand new stock. It came with a wall mount that fit my seat bracket perfectly. Not really much else to say about this extinguisher. Feels well built as opposed to the cheaper first alert/kiddie stuff. Oh and it has a metal handle/lever. All better than plastic.

Very nice extinguisher made of quality parts. This thing looks bullet proof. This is going in my Jeep Gladiator this weekend.

Good stuff

• Use Review • • Cautionary tale • A few years ago I pulled over to help someone put out a truck fire on a freeway offf-ramp. I didn't have an extinguisher so I used coolant (gross, sorry environment). Lesson: keep an extinguisher. The other day I woke up to a fire alarm, and my roommate panicking while the toaster oven held containment of a small oil fire. I grabbed my extinguisher, which had been kicking around my life since the aforementioned, pulled the pin, aimed at the base, and put out the fire with a single short spray. My extinguisher had done its job, but I had not done mine. That singular burst was all my extinguisher would give me. Had the situation been more severe, so too would have been the consequences of my negligence. At some point the plastic retaining ring for the pull-pin was incidentally broken, and I left the storage angle of the device to do the job of keeping the pin. Stupid. Eventually the device acquired some crush-damage to the handle, which pushed the flanges used for the handle-hinge out, but didn't impair the function of the device. Lesson: protect, inspect, and maintain your equipment. Your life and livelihood may depend on it.

I was unfortunate to see a very bad accident and hardly anyone in the long line of cars and campers had a fire extinguisher, myself included. I came home that day and researched fire extinguishers. This guy had high reviews. I bought one for everyone on my team and my mom. They are hefty with out being to bulky or heavy to use. Metal pieces not plastic. I feel better knowing my team has one on board.

I recently had to use this fire extinguisher when the transfer case on my Jeep grenaded and the oil line caught fire. I was able to put out the fire at the side of the freeway. But be forewarned; I have never used one of these and didn't know that you only have about 10 seconds of full use before it is discharged completely. That was enough to put out the fire though. As a result, I bought two from this vendor and they were delivered before the arrival date and were well packaged.
