Best Deal On Mig Gas
Minicooper - 18/8/12 at 01:24 PM

Hello all,
I'm on the last fumes of a argon/co2 5% mix bottle, what is the latest best deal out there at the moment looking for a medium size bottle about 10 litres.

I'm based in Chandlers Ford, near Southampton SO53 2FF

Cheers
David

BOC do a decent deal on Argoshield, it's what I intend to use;

http://www.boconline.co.uk/products/products_by_type/industrial_gases/shielding_gases/argoshield/2_litre_argoshield_light_filled_cylinder.asp

£18 annual rental, £16 to fill. Although I've just noticed you'd want five of them....

Check out "MigTigArc" in Portsmouth, one off charge for three years hire, and then so much a fill up. Its who I use and find them very useful for all my welding bits and peices. HTH Ray

I went for the Hobbyweld 5 in the end, as there were several dealers locally and the overall package was the cheapest, just one update to the above there is no VAT charged on the deposit, so it works out at 29.99+vat + £50

In total £85.99
