Where to exchange gas bottle near me
Welding gas bottles buy or lease? ( My thoughts)
what's going on YouTube today I want to
talk a little bit about welding gas
bottles shielding gas and oxygen
acetylene and whatnot I know you can
lease these bottles and it's getting
hard to find somebody that you can buy
from which I found somebody a company my
local welding supply store that I was
able to buy these bottles here but uh I
talked with arrogance air gas is like
the the big company that everybody uses
and my neck of the woods and I'm sure
they're like pretty much all over the US
so I'm sure that you've heard of them
so everybody uses them they will not
sell you a bottle they want to lease you
a bottle I call them and I wanted a
bottle of oxygens just for bottle
auction I didn't I didn't price the
ceiling guess with them because the time
I called him I was just interested in
the bottle oxygen and they told me for a
300 cubic foot bottle that it would be
one hundred thirteen dollars a year I
would have to come into their store
which is about 30 miles from either
close the store and fill out a credit
application they would have to run my
credit to see if I was approved and I'd
pay them one hundred thirteen dollars
and I'd leave with a bottle ox and then
when it got empty I could carry it to my
local NAPA store which is about ten
miles up the road and they would
exchange it you know I pay them whatever
their fee is to exchange it and then
every year they would send me an invoice
and I pay them hundred thirteen dollars
mmm so I called my local welding supply
store that's about 20 miles from me 25
miles tops and I asked them do they have
a brand of a company that they dealt
with that all right sell you the bottle
they said that they did and these are
Wells coke bottles I went down there and
I asked them about a shielding gas
bottle I'm going to the shooting gas
bottle as well 75 25 this is a 390 cubic
foot model this is a 282 foot cubic foot
oxygen bottle this is the the biggest
oxygen bottle you could get I don't know
why that you couldn't get auctioned by
the same size but this is the biggest
thing so yeah so that's what I got this
is what I what I paid for get the camera
to focus here you can see the oxygen
bottle 282 cubic foot it's for 68 99 390
cubic foot of argon co2 69 was 1124 70
with tax and all but I know that's a lot
of money but if you take what they told
me for the 300 cubic foot oxygen a tear
gas was a 113 dollars a year if you do
that times four that's four hundred
fifty something dollars so in four years
you pretty much paying for this bottle
if I died went with air gas and paid
them one hundred thirteen dollars a year
in four years time I've cut a ball and
on that bottle right there you know or
with our gas you just pay them the money
and then you you never own anything and
say if I say if I kept these bottles ten
years well I want to pay 1100 and what
would that be eleven hundred thirty
dollars in ten years I have paid for ox
and bottom I still wasn't on the bottle
so let's say twenty years
I'm thirty years old let's say what's
that I need bottle slump sixty so thirty
years you're looking at uh over three
thousand dollars so I do have a bottle
by doing it this way and I'm sure if
this company never goes out of business
that somebody else would uh you know
allow me to trade it in on something I
had the paperwork shortened where I
bought it paid for the shielding gas is
the same way so with if I would have got
both of these like I say if thirty years
I've been over six thousand dollars you
know I've got it for 1,100 so to me
that's the way to go on something like
this if you're going to keep it now if
it's just something you're playing with
you need part time you make at least one
for a year too short on money or
whatever but I wanted to go ahead and
save up and buy mine that way I'll be
ahead of the game and I wouldn't have to
worry about it having a credit check for
auction bottom all that mess
chose to just go ahead and do it this
way because I thought it worked out
better for me all right you take one
more thing I forgot to mention the
reason I did not buy a settling model to
go with this I'm using a or we'll be
using a propane oxy propane set up and I
have a 40 pound propane cylinders I
bought to go with one of those weed
burner torches so I'll be using it I
don't have it in here it's kept outside
obviously away from this but uh so I
just got the shielding gas model for my
welding and then I'll be running an oxy
propane when the torch I will be doing a
separate video on the torch setup and
the torches I got and everything all the
tips I got everything so that'll be in a
separate video thanks for watching
