    If you want a quality extinguisher, buy an Amerex.
    Like many of you, I first became familiar with Amerex extinguishers through using them at work (mainly the 10 lb. B456 model). Through many unfortunate encounters, I've seen just how well an Amerex works when the need arises. They're built like tanks and disperse the chemical well from at least a meter away from the fire. Simply put, any time I've used an Amerex, it has never let me down. Everything from the nuisance cigarette butt in mulch to the bigger forklift fires have all been extinguished handily.When the time came to replace my home extinguisher, I knew I was going with Amerex. While I've never actually used this B402 (thankfully!), I can attest to the build quality being just as solid as the larger B456. Being the B456's little brother, I expect the B402 to work just as well if the time ever comes where I'll need it as it's constructed with the same internal brass valve. Other manufacturers use a plastic valve that can grow brittle and break with time, which can not only affect how powerful the chemical sprays but can cause the extinguisher to fail altogether (I'm looking at you, Kidde!). I don't have to worry about that with an Amerex.Unlike the 10 lb. B456, the wall bracket included with the 5 lb. B402 is a quick release hanger style that suspends the extinguisher from a steel eyelet on the handle. If you'd prefer a fork style bracket that mounts the extinguisher from the neck like the one that ships with the 10 lb. extinguishers, you can also use one of those. The hanger style bracket is sufficient for most applications and is extremely sturdy.It's not often I give a five-star review to a product I've never used and hope I never have to use, but the B402 feels as much of a quality product as its larger siblings. I recommend skipping the 2.5 lb. version for your home use and buying one of these. It's a few dollars more, but it will be well worth it. You never know how large the fire will be if something ignites. You may as well have the extra peace of mind.
