Do not buy an extinguisher with ANY plastic discharge parts.Being a "saw guy" I carry a full medical kit any time I'm sawing. I also have full PPE given I run pretty big saws and any mistake is going wrong in a hurry. I cannot stress enough the importance of chainsaw pants, I wear Clogger DefenderPro Gen2 pants and metatarsi boots, along with Echo Kevlar Chainsaw gloves and Husqvarna 588646001 Technical Forest Helmet. The pants saved my shin from what would have been a serious axe wound when the axe bounced off a limb I was chopping, so they've more than paid for themselves.
Guys (and gals), this is really cheap insurance considering the cost over time of use. I've been in the woods 40+ years with no accidents until last year, and it wasn't even a chainsaw accident yet the investment in Personal Protection Equipment paid for itself multiple times over. (It really, really hurt though.)
Thanks to members here I'll be mounting a fire extinguisher to my tractor too.
