Cost of hiring Argon cylinder?
Anyone know how much it costs to hire a MIG/TIG cylinder?
Sizes, cost, duration blah blah.
Thanks.

The disposable ones are not worth even a glance at imo.
140 a year sounds great. We have a boc in town

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.
