Here is another good deal, you can tell that I have been spending quite a bit recently!
I imagine that many of you use gas for welding, I had two cylinders from BOC for argon mix and pure argon (MIG & TIG) which were costing something like £160 a year to rent. I only fill the gas every two years or so so most of the money I spent was just renting the bottles.
I did investigate non-rental cylinders a year ago and decided I would do that when the bottles were empty, which was last week. I was going to go for Albee from Air Liquide but had another Google and found this:

They do 10 and 20 litre cylinders of argon and argon mix and also do oxygen. I found a local agent who delivered them for free. I paid £60 deposit for the cylinders (20L) and £60 for argon mix and £80 for pure argon (all plus VAT).
And if that wasn't good enough if you contact Southwestern Gas via
this thread on the migwelding.co.uk forum you should get a £20 cashback per cylinder!
I have paid BOC nearly £1000 over the last five years!!! This should save me a huge amount.
.......... so more money to spend on tools then!
