AmerexB500 ABC Dry Chemical Fire Extinguisher 2A-10 BC Rated, 5 lb.

This fire extinguisher is high-quality and can function in an emergency, and it is made of quality construction steel. The pin has a retainer so you don’t lose it, and the gauge is easy to read. It was easy to install it on my wall with the bracket. It’s comfortable to hold and it looks good. The bright red can be seen easily in a fire and it’s big and can extinguish any fire you should be extinguishing.

Needed a decent fore extinguisher for my shop. You know the saying, “its not if, but when”. This is a good and trusted brand. Comes with a wall mount hangar and was properly charged. Do yourself a favor, always have at least one fire extinguisher in your home and your garage or shop.

Well built in made in the USA vs the major brands made in Mexico . Kiddie /First AlertQuality looks very goodNote: the hanger is at bottom of box

I ordered this about seven years ago and used it this morning to put out a fire in my toaster oven. It put out the fire in under two seconds. It served its purpose well.

all you need.

So this Amerex extinguisher is well made. Some people complained about the stickers being crooked (of all things!) but I will say, there are two things that bother me. First of all, the pin doesn’t stay in at all! The wire that keeps you from losing the pin is stiff and forces the pin out. I removed the pin from that wire so the pin stays in but there is no resistance when putting the pin into the handle. If you tipped the extinguisher to the side it would just fall out. Secondly, a wall mount bracket was included but NO screws or anchors were included. I’ll either have to look for screws around the house or drive to a store to get them. For $70 I’d expect screws and a pin that stays in place.

I hope we never have to use this, but were having a fire safety inspection of our apartment, and the fire safety professional we hired recommended this specific fire extinguisher.

I bought this in August and was going to put it in my F350. It was in the garage and a fire got started in the garage. Pull the pin, aimed the nozzle and squeezed the handle. In less than 4 seconds the fire was stopped. This thing has the power and is impressive. Now to get a new one
