hey all
so as some of you know i work for ALDI and today being a Wednesday we were building all the specials that start tomorow and we have small fire extinguishers with a mounting bracket for cars and for only $12.99. and are refillable if you end up needing to use it. not sure what they are normally worth but i thought this was a good price? so if you want one head down to your local ALDI

i think they are plastic but they actually look fairly good, when it is on the car you would probs not even see the bracket

They will be charged, I'm confident of that,
Also looking on the page they have fire blankets for $4.99 worth getting one for the kitchen ;)

They will be sold as charged but try and pick one that has the needle well into the green zone, not on the edge of the red as this means it has either been used,needs charging or is losing charge

Not only are they not safe in an accident. I have seen the plastic bracketed ones melt on a hot day, causing the extinguisher to fall out. (I scrutineer cars) /me grumbles why are people so cheap on safety. It's not like a good one is going to break the bank. FWIW, mine is here...

Id still check them to see if its charged.
We bought a few boxes of extinguishers (not these particular ones) for work and in a box of twelve, atleast three or four were empty. They can be recharged, but its more expensive than a new one. Amazing thats its cheaper to get them melted down, sent to China, recast/welded, and then filled, than it is to just get it re-filled here.

You know you can buy similar ones from bunnings for about $20
so it's not like the Aldi ones are a mega great super awesome bargain Just a regular good deal.

Where are people mounting them in the cabin?
would anticipate you would want it in reach of the driver if you were trapped in a burning wreck? |
