Was renting an argon CO2 mix from BOC. Monthly charge kept creeping up and often the bottle wasn't filled from year to year.
Recently inherited 2 Hare & Forbes bottles so effectively free, just need to pay for the refills now.
Also inherited an oxygen bottle I think is from Total Tools,
When I took my BOC bottle back they had a 'deal' for bottles on an annual fee (not sure if this is still going). A 'D' size was about $100 which was supplied full and one free refill during the year.
I also now have access to a 3-phase Kempi welder at work, I often tack at home and then take the job to work to finish. Saves on gas & wire
