Don’t you hate having to mosey on up to a stack of wood to light your bonfire? With the XM42, the world’s first commercially available handheld flamethrower, you can start the blaze from across the yard. Designed to be both awesome and affordable (the brushed steel starts at $699), the XM42 can shoot a flame 20-25 feet from the nozzle. Whether you use it to clear snow and ice, remove weeds from cracked pavement, or just to look like a damn psychopath, you’ll be good to go with the XM42. The handheld flamethrower is designed to run on standard 87 octane gasoline, so filling it up won’t be an issue. The crowdfunding begins on Monday.
