$90 for 3 months 'hire' of oxy/ac bottles is BOC's idea of a cheap deal

im in palmy and there is no supergas here, only an agent, they have to send away for the bottles, i looked at there rental and filling prices and they were more than BOC, AIR LIQUIDE for the home user, you have to pay a year upfront rental for bottles, for oxy and acyet, it costs over 400 a year for the rental which you have to pay upfront, i use BOC and pay 26 dollars a month for my oxy and acyet bottles, 13 dollars for each cylinder, you dont pay a years upfront, i find BOC palmy a very good store to deal with

I have "owned" my gas set for 30 years and recently had to start paying annual rentals to BOC of $175.00 for the oxygen and $188.00 for the acetylene.

I gave them the acetylene bottle back and use LPG bottle from the BBQ instead, at least it halves the rental. You do need the LPG to gas set reg though. I am still using a brass connector to the old gauges and find it harder to get a good flame but hey for the times I use it, is good.

Refills cost $90 for the oxygen and $120 odd for the Acetylene.

we just checked out supergas they offered us free rental if we used over x amount of bottles per month,their oxy was cheaper than boc but everything else was similar execpt argosheild which was dearer.done the maths stayed with boc
