The Indiegogo page for the XM42 Handheld Flamethrower is now live.
The XM42 is the world’s first commercially available handheld flamethrower. The XM42 is designed for all manner of household chores:
– Clearing snow and ice
– Eliminating weeds
– Insect control
– Bonfire starting
– Pyrotechnic event displays
– And more…
It feeds from an onboard fuel tank, and is intended to work with 87 octane gasoline. The effective range is roughly 20-25 feet from the nozzle.
At the time of writing, the project has already made $14,000, or 35% of the $40,000 goal, on the first day; this one’s gonna reach its goal fast.
