Just The Thing For Harsh Winters!
« on: August 28, 2015, 10:31:31 am »
 It appears that a Michigan company has developed and marketed a personal flame thrower, I personally don't see the need but to each his own.

Presumably you can 'open carry' one of these in Texas (amongst other places). What could possibly go wrong?  ;)

You just know that a YouTube video entitled "Shooting down a drone with the XM42 flamethrower" is one well worth seeing.  :)

Some guy is going to flame his barbeque.
I regard the flamethrowers as potential tools for achieving a Darwin Award.  :P

Given the last two Michigan winters I can see this coming in handy for clearing ice off driveways and sidewalks. Of course some maroon will try it on his trees & hedges too…  :D

I was just thinking it could be used to kill weeds growing in driveway cracks or between patio stones. A portable steamer would be less dramatic though.
