Anyone know how much it costs to hire a MIG/TIG cylinder?

Sizes, cost, duration blah blah.

Thanks.🙂

Hi

Ive heard that you can buy disposable ones, I rent, oxy, acetylene & argo shield every year, not cheap.

The disposable ones are not worth even a glance at imo.

140 a year sounds great. We have a boc in town 😁
