What ever you do....DO NOT USE THIS....the carbontetrachloride used as an agent is very dangerous.................
That being said, it's great to look at !
from wekipedia : Exposure to high concentrations of carbon tetrachloride (including vapor) can affect the central nervous system, degenerate the liver[10] and kidneys[12] and may result (after prolonged exposure) in coma and even death.[13] Chronic exposure to carbon tetrachloride can cause liver[14][15] and kidney damage and could result in cancer.[16] More information can be found in Material safety data sheets.[17]
I said that I liked the extinguisher ! I don't know where 'levelheaded' got that I hated...............I think that vanskyock24 knew where I was coming from.... safety concerns.
hi, pops i know what you was saying i dont know why he went off on you either anyway the extinguisher is empty i appreciate your input pops and im deleting his
btw, the site is "wikipedia" not "wekipedia". Just trying to help!
Thanks Alan, I try to be accurate as I can but........................I thought I made a mistake once but I was wrong.
lol that a boy pops
People take me much to seriously..................guess I just can't tell a joke !
Har de har har Kevin ....................I would post a newer picture but the only reason anybody takes one any more is to scare the rats.........
That extinguisher is lovely. I have never polished mine. I kind of like the look it has. I might polish it just to see how it looks. What is the least damaging thing to polish it with?
thanks jenny,ar, phillip and official
