Default Re: like the look of a fire extingisher in your car but think its to expensive?

No it isn’t. The blue tag is there to as a seal to let you know that the unit hasn’t been discharged. The pin should have its own retaining clip on it. If you squeeze the trigger on an extinguisher, even just a little bit, it will quickly lose all of its charge.


I am a professional Firefighter and all our extinguishers have tags to hold the pins in as they always fall out without them. Small good quality extinguishers have a retaining clip on the pin but not the one we are talking about from Aldi .
The gauge is there to let you know if the extinguisher has been discharged, not the seal.
