Kim, The PC2 2.5# halon extinguisher lists for $145 on the safecraft site. https://www.safecraft.com/products.php?category=24&master_cat=motorsports Having a hard time finding a company to refill my now empty 2.5# PemALL halon 1211 extinguisher.This gas has not been manufactured since the late '90s and most outfits are more interested in buying old extinguishers to recycle the gas for large suppression systems. Looks like buy now and hold is the best strategy. I did get a 5# cylinder on eBay for $110 but thinking of getting the PC2 in the stainless cylinder for backup.
