Stop hiding that fire extinguisher in the broom closet where you won't even be able to find it when havoc strikes. Winner of a 2007 International Design Excellence Award, this FireHero extinguisher is pretty enough to keep on your countertop. Its bright red safety pin looks like the pin on a grenade, so obvious that even a monkey could activate it and put out a grease fire in no time.

The FireHero is so ergonomically designed, you only need one hand to push the button on the top, spraying its fire extinguishing contents far and wide. And if you don't want to set it on its countertop-protecting rubber feet, you can mount it on the wall so you can grab it right when you need it. Here's hoping you won't ever use it, but it'll be there waiting for you, staying charged up and ready to go for 12 years. — Charlie White
