I'm hope no one is expecting to put out a fire greater than a dropped cigarette butt with these tiny fire extinguishers.

It's a halotron extinguisher to suffocate the fire and not be corrosive or shock electronics.

Right with a very small capacity bordering on useless. If ya like the look, that's one thing. If you're depending on it to put out a fire bigger than what you could stomp out, best of luck.

You ever have fire extinguisher training?

Here's the one I have. I'd much rather have it and and at least have a chance than not have it and watch my car or someone else's burn to the ground.

I have. Used to work at an LPG storage field and we received fire training every year. Emptied many 30# powder extinguishers, a few of the big powder rigs on wheels, some large gas extinguishers, and can run a fire hose by myself if need be. At my age, I wouldn't want to do the latter, but I could.
Even a 30# extinguisher won't do much good on a car fire if you don't use it right. Even worse with a gas (CO2, Halon, etc) extinguisher, especially if there is any wind. The small extinguisher you find in cars is NOT meant to put out a fire of any size - it's to knock the fire down enough so you can escape or be rescued.

If it's a 525 kV fire, I'm headed the other way. Let somebody that knows what they are doing handle it. IF you get to the fire soon enough AND you know how to use an extinguisher. As with compression tubing fittings, a lot of people don't have the slightest idea how to do it right.

I've had one laying around for a while that I haven't got around to installing since most of my interior is ripped out at the moment, once it all goes back in I'll be installing it in that little section behind the passenger seat, fits almost perfectly.
