I went and picked up my gas today for the mig welder. Went for 95-5% from Sabre gas, they do 80-20% and pure argon as well. Picked up from a local place called steveweld in Aberdeen but they have a fee other places.
It's a little bit different to other rent free style options, it's a one off payment for 10 year use of the bottle. It was £175+vat for the 20 litre (90odd for the 10) and £40+vat for a fill.
There is a repayment to you if you return the bottle and don't take another mid way through the 10 year period but it goes down with time and I can't remember all the figures.
So works out at about 20 quid a year for the bottle and the refills are a decent bit cheaper than other hobby deals up here (probably with the exception of BOC) but I think I would probably need to use 2 or 3 bottle a year to warrant going to BOC on the hobby deal.
I can post a link if it's ok?
