I went to my local welding supply and I asked how much are their cylinders. The largest one that they sell (only about 4' tall) I think they said around $200 or $300. Larger ones are available by lease, but I don't think that would be good for me

Any locals know where I can get a good deal on welding cylinders?

How 'bout ebay? Is this a good deal?

call AIRGAS in oakland andy hooked me up on my tig there prices have been good.. I have also done alot of buisness with them I paid 125 for my 80 but i am not sure there going to give ya that price I ]got it when i bought one of my migs

 

I lease all my cylinders.. dosent cost much per year, and refill is easy (exchange).

I currently have 5 cylinders on lease, had them all for years...


Only problem with buying one on ebay is that.. shipping a cyilnder would be costly

how much do you pay per cylinder per year??? also on the auction it says free shipping......

 

Never buy tanks off ebay, or private ones for that matter. They key guys like Praxair and airgas will only fill their own tanks purchased through them with their name on the collar. For the little guys like most of us, going through a large retailer that is located everywhere is the best idea.

yea....I got a 178cf tanks for 230 filled with tax and ****. That is absolute rapage right there!

 

that is average price. Just like own6volvos said most commercial places only fill thier own tanks. I guess you gotta pay to play

 

i got a tank if ya interested

 

I was thinking about getting a second tank for SS or AL

 

All Tractor Supply Company stores sell Thoroughbred Brand cylinders: http://www.mytscstore.com/deta...=9996

They have refill stations throughout the US ... check out their website.

They can also be bought through other retailers online, like Northern Tool: http://www.northerntool.com/we...19137

 

GT&S in Linden are good guys. I fix their forklifts and I heard WelcoCGI in newark is good.

 

just support ur local shop. getting a cylinder filled from another supplier can be a real bitch.

migs dont go through that much gas anyhow.
