If you plan on doing a fair amount of welding it’s cheaper to get the larger D size from Bunnings, you get the $200 deposit back whenever you decide to give the bottle back and it’s only around $99 to refill it, in argon or co2 mix. You get 1700 litres compared to that 2.2 bottle you have.
@@mbsoldschoolworth getting an argon regulator from total tools, Bunnings or toolkit depot etc, don’t cost too much. Then get a welding trolley and put the bottle and welder on and you have a complete mobile welding setup. The small bottles are great for one off jobs where you may never do a weld for another few years. Having a setup encourages you to do more, car repairs, sculptures or other creative projects. Comes in handy for making your own tools, I made one to put heavy duty springs in the 202 recently, none of the other tools could cope.

Oh crap, I did not know that. That's an extra $30 & you get 1698 litres more. Shame that my regulator won't fit the D bottle. Oh well live and learn.
