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

Sizes, cost, duration blah blah.

Thanks.:)

I heard it's about $140 a year from BOC.

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 :smilegrin:

Just paid my yearly hire from BOC and yep it has gone up again $164.47 for the E size bottle. to fill with Argoshield is about $92.
thanks Frosty

does that include reg, hose and fittings?

I am paying $156 per year each for a MIG, an oxygen and an acetylene bottle. That is the rental of just the actual cylinder. You have to own your own gauges, hoses etc.
