This option is no longer a flyer as every bottle is scanned in and out on each account, turn up with strange bottle and the account hold will get landed with rental charges for those bottles. Also to pick up a bottle is another £15 each smile, and then the fill of gas. If in Belfast Co2, pure argon and argon blend are available in there own bottles Ulster Bottling Glen Road. BOC are abusing their monopoly on gas. |

Haven't bought any Wolf products so can't comment on reliability etc.
Wire feed issues are not uncommon with entry level welders, so google first before you buy. The mechanism on my RTech welder is an absolute work of art compared to my old sip, but I managed with the sip for over 10 years, just took a bit of fiddling about at times. If you can I'd buy a welder locally cos 35kg isn't going to be cheap to send back for repairs etc. As a starter kit it seems to have enough to get going, but small spools of wire and gas bottles are very expensive consumables. Find out if you can fit a 5kg spool of wire. Check that the tips supplied are standard, that way you can nip to a local supplier if you need some in the middle of a job, or get some on ebay etc. I'd also find out if you can fit a euro torch. For panels I use 0.6mm wire with gas, cooler and quicker to grind down than 0.8mm. If you work outside then you use more gas, a small bottle can run out in minutes. Long term look at an auto helmet - leaves both hands free, and a boc gas bottle via the deal I have posted. Personally I would buy the kit without the gas bottle and regulator and put the £20 saving into a regulator. And start a boc bottle rental straight away. |

Note to self:
Make sure when replying to posts you're actually replying to the most recent one, and not one from the first page! As you were folks, nothing to see here, i really didn't just spend 5 mins replying to an old welding post honest! Edited by outtatime - 25 Nov 15 at 21:29 |

Hi Guys, BOC have a glitch on there system which ignores the discount negotiated for rental. If you get an invoice that makes no sense then ring them and they will sort it out. Rental for the Y size bottle should be £4.70 per month btw. Cheers Andy
