Like all fire extinguishers I think you’re supposed to pull the pin on the PinQY but are you then supposed to throw it in the fire like a grenade? Maybe you’re supposed to eat it?! Whatever you’re supposed to do I think it looks nice! [via]

Meet PinQY, the smallest extinguisher in the world.
However, before you give any negative comment, consider:
- PinQY complies with the same regulations as each extinguisher has to do. Those regulations are very difficult to obtain, so if PinQY would not be a serious extinguisher we would never have obtained certification
- PinQY is an 3A (ordinary), 13B (oil and fluids) and class C (gas: fi propane) powder extinguisher with an extinguishing capacity of 3,5 to 4 seconds
- The movies, as they can be seen at http://www.pinqy.com (choose movies) are NOT fake. People were filmed (by use of a handycam) killing a fire for the first time in their lives. So NO PROPANE was shut off to simulate extinguishment. You can always mail me at info@pinqy.com and I will bring you in contact with the firefighters who were present if you would have any doubts.
- PinQY is supported by big insurancecompanies in Europa to promote firesafety in the houses of everyone
Why this special design?
Well, very simple. About 95% of american and european households do not have an extinguisher at home. If they should have one anyway, it is hidden in the garage or in a closet.
We designed PinQY so you can put your extinguisher there were it belongs. For instance, in the kitchen, where you can see it and use it immediately.
The capacity? It is not the size that matter, but the response time. If you cannot react immediately when you see a fire starting (fi in your kitchen) then get out of your house and call the firedepartement. This situation is for all extinguishers.
If you cannot grab an extinguisher immediately when you see a fire starting, no extinguisher will help at all. Even not an extinguisher of 10Kg.
The circle is round: new design so you can put an extinguisher in the neighbourhood of a potential fire hazard and react immediately. With 3,5 to 4 seconds you’ve got time enough.
