what I don't understand is that the safety label says do not store in places above 120 deg F. But cars regularly reach over especially in Texas sun heat. is it okay to store any fire extinguisher inside the car?

A demonstration of the product extinguishing a fire would have been nice.

I really liked your previous videos on fire extinguishers. I would not have learned about the K class of extinguishers, and definitely wouldn't get to know HalGuard if it wasn't for you. Sadly can't enter the contest due to the shipping restriction but thank you for the very informative video (not many people put as much effort and references as you do) and to HalGuard for sponsoring! Happy holidays Cliff!!

Pricey but considering what it may save, worth it. Good investment! Glad to see you putting up videos again. Thanks for your reviews as always!

Invaluable to have in a vehicle! And thanks for the contest. :)

Good thing you used the right canister. Merry Christmas

Greetings and salutations! How much does it cost to recharge the tank? Cheers

Another great video sir. Very informative and I love your element. My family loves our hondas. Great work.

That was informative. Thanks.

I see you've been working on your vehicle kit/EDC. Would love an update video.

Go Hawks! TY for posting this. I was looking for something like this. Now to get something like this miniaturize, with the same amount (of)chemicals in it, to carry in a B.O.B.

Nice extinguisher 👍🏻

Thanks for sharing this.👻👽🏁👍.

Good for a legacy vehicle I think. Not a choice for a home unit. I do think your choice of a storage position in your vehicle is a bad choice, though, as far as immediate access goes. 1,.) get everyone out, & away from the vehicle Then you are going to go dig around in the back?

I like. This also gives me an excuse to weld a bracket more suitable for my use

having had a car fire with total vehicle loss I can say its a scary experience. I had a fire extinguisher, but wife had moved it and didnt tell me.....i now have mine in the passenger door pocket, and a 2nd at the back door halfway up the wall in a wall mount. not a good idea to put them out of sight in a cupboard where the door could get jammed in an accident.

Amazon has the black one for around $180 prime.

I know I’m a bit late, but for reference if you are ever in an place that has a halon system and it discharges, hold your breath and get out. Halon basically word by removing oxygen from the area.

Cool!

Note, the 2 BC rating means it can extinguish a petroleum fire of up to two square feet in size.

Chrome and black versión are the same or they have differences?

Content or contest because the description says content, please clarify

The national fire protection association has lobbied several times for automatic fire extinguishing systems in automobiles. A great idea.

Cool.

Good video and review, though bittersweet. This is the type of extinguisher I have been looking for, but the price has a sting to it. Still, thank you for the copious background info and practical use demonstration.

When seconds count, in a fire or medical emergency, having immediate access to the fire extinguisher and trauma kit are critical. So it concerns me that Mrs. UrbanPrepper has convinced you to store your two most critical items in the back lower compartment. If you ever have that back area full of luggage or camping gear, it may take you several minutes to unload everything to gain access to your emergency items. It’s also a good idea to have a jump kit trauma bag in the front of the car so you can grab and go to help others (such as car accident victims) who may have severe bleeding. Plus, what if you are driving by yourself, hit a pole, and are pinned in your vehicle. How are you going to reach your fire extinguisher and trauma kit with it being in the back under 100lbs of Christmas presents? At least have a couple of tourniquets and gauze within reach of both the driver and passenger. …just a thought.

Purple K is Purple when it comes out, ABC is yellow, Purple K wont damage wiring. ABS Melts at 385 degrees and it sticks to very hot surfaces, Purple K dose not.

Wouldn't be better to test it on a real fire

Thanks for the 10%, but Amazon has the H3R Performance HG250B for $187.49. Seems like you would get a better deal straight from H3R rather than through a middleman. What is the max temp that this extinguisher will be safe at? Here in Texas, interiors can get very hot, as in probably 130 degrees or more.

I think a 2kg CO2 Fire Extinguisher can do the same, but much cheaper.

Still hoping to hear if you got my card ^^

Thanks Cliff, I always enjoy your videos. I do have a few questions though. Have you found anyone in your area to recharge this? I’m looking to buy the HG500C and was curious about the cost to recharge five pounds of Halotron 1. How is the HG1550R model listed for type A (2A:10B:C), even though it uses the same Halotron 1 as the smaller units that are only listed as B:C. The HG250R model only has a 2 B:C rating. Aren’t B and C rated by the square footage that they can extinguish? So 2 is VERY small. Even the 5lb unit is only five square feet (5 B:C). I have great concerns that these wouldn’t put out much of a fire compared to other, non dry chemical extinguishers, such as the Element E50. I’d love to see you do a review of the E50. I think everyone, except Mr. Echo Chambers, understands that the Dry Chemical extinguishers severely damage your car’s electrical wiring and leaves a residue that’s nearly impossible to get rid of. So the H3R Halguard is clearly superior to a $30 First Alert dry chemical model if you want to protect your McLaren. However, I’d love to see a head-to-head competition of the H3R HG250R vs. the Element E50. They are both zero residue but the Element E50 works for 50 seconds and is ABC rated. It’s also only $79.00 USD, and is about the size of a road flare. So I can place several of them under my seat and keep a fire at bay if I’m pinned in my McLaren.

Only 10 sec of usage 😧

First Alert Extinguisher.Like 30 bucks on Amazon.The Chrome looks pretty,but it does the same job at almost 10x the cost.

DOOD.

Traditional pressurized metal canister Fire Extinguishers are a 70 year old technology. You should check out the UL Listed Rusoh Eliminator: www.teamfti.com/eliminator

You drive a Honda and running this item . LoL

On the product... bit sad to see something that depletes the ozone layer still on the market today ... merely because somebody found (or politicians left in) a loophole :( ... save your car in a fire, but sacrifice the planet :/ ... clearly not a product for me.
