Sabre Gas (Elmdale) - anyone, in Scotland particularly, use them for welding gas?

[Tangledfeet]

I'm barely doing any welding at the moment so will be selling my lightly used Bohler Uranos and returning the bottle to BOC, having just received a billing reminder that'll be taken in a few weeks. I've stuck with BOC as there's an agent just a few miles away but that's no longer an advantage.

I'll be keeping the Lorch MicorTIG because its such a pretty colour. That, and TIG/ARC would be all I need for the foreseeable.

Elmdale have only one agent in Scotland, Steveweld, and they're in Aberdeen but their own Sabre Gas would offer pre Argon at £130 for a 10yr rental on a10l bottle and then £30 a refill - that would make the 160mile trip worthwhile...

Anyone use Sabre Gas - particularly in Scotland?

Cheers!

only one bit of advice, get a bigger bottle. the gas contents of a 10l is pitiful.

With Hobbyweld gas cylinders, you can take advantage of high-quality gases without paying costly rental on a cylinder you use occasionally.

My Adams gas agent does a delivery service at a reasonable cost.

Don't bother with anything less than a 20 ltr bottle min.......

Echo the comments re 10l vs 20l, it's absolutely incredible how little welding a 10l will do.
Does hobbyweld not do anything near you? I just changed my 20l oxy cyl for a 20l titan 300bar cyl, same 70 quid refill cost for both, but the deposit was £100 and £190 respectively.

Also now you're going to have to find projects to do, so you should probably keep the bohler mig and get a rent free cylinder for it as well
