^^^^^^^^^^^^ I was thinking the same thing -- "what's the best one to use?" The one you have with you.
Halon is NOT good for a car fire. Halon works by displacing all the air with the non flammable Halon gas. INSIDE a car - that could be deadly. They are also for ENCLOSED spaces. Most car fires are either electrical -- or in the engine compartment.
Go with Safecraft but educate yourself on what type extinguisher you're buying first. There are different chemicals for different fires....
On our boat - you had to have 2 DIFFERENT types.... because you had fuel and electrical. The automatic Halon system was in the enclosed engine room... It was required to be set up to kill the diesels so they didn't ingest the extinguishing agent. You also DID NOT enter the engine room until it could be determined that there was air to breathe.
