The other day I came across a set of tanks for Oxy-Acet welding that had guages on it but that was it. Sitting in a bent up old cart with one wheel bad on it but still able to roll the cart. I called the gas supply house here in town and asked about the tanks and filling. Here where I live you have to buy the tanks and once owned you just come back as necesasary to fill them. I showed him the size of the tanks and asked how much the guy wanted. He wanted $50.00 - gas supply told me to buy them becasue they charge almost $300 for the large one alone and $230 for the acet tank.
I called the guy and he wanted them picked up that day if I was serious about wanting them.
Question: The gauges appear old and not sure of how accurate/calibrated they are so I thought I would by a welding Kit and that would set me up fine. Picture #1 is the Northern Tool Company set that has gotten 5 star reviews. There are many others out there including from Harbor Freight but the reviews are mixed and the capabilities less, cyberweld.com has Victor etc ......all in all the prices range from 130-160 - The Northern Tool
set is 200.
Regarding the cart - I think Harbor Freight sells some wheels that I can use 10" - ones on it now are 14"
Anybody using this set from Northern Tool or a better idea ?
Thanks Dan
