Launch Kontrol remote firework launcher fires off explosions like a pro

fireworks_launcher.jpg

Even though consumer fireworks are illegal in many states, home fireworks are getting bigger and better anyway. But who wants to blow off a hand while igniting all those high explosives? Now your rockets can make a hellacious racket in relative safety with the Launch Kontrol remote firework launcher, firing up those illuminating displays from a safe distance of up to 75 feet away.

Clip the igniters onto the fuses of up to five fireworks at a time, and the remote control gives you all that firepower in the palm of your hand, launching all five in sequence. The remote system with 15 of the "e-clip" igniters will set you back $35, with a pack of 15 extra clips for $17. Or if you really want to be like an old-skool pro, use a flare to fire 'em up instead.

The only problem being that there are no US distributors, and I'm not sure I'd want to pay to ship it in from the UK.

No U.S. distributors? That's a problem now isn't it.. I wonder if this is an idea that some firework distributors could consider grabbing a hold of. I can definitely see this product having a market, especially with the families who spend $100s on fireworks a year for their family enjoyment and want a safer way for their children to detonate the fireworks.
