Hi All,
So, after many years paying the rental for my BOC PortaPak the latest bill came through yesterday and I really couldn't justify the cost, especially if like the previous years it didn't get used (sods law states I'll need it tomorrow of course). I took them back this afternoon.
So, just so that I've got something a bit more focused / hotter for 'heating' (typically rusty nut removal / light bending ) than a blow lamp and the odd bit of mini welding / brazing so I thought I'd look into those little portable brazing sets.
It looks like I can get either set mentioned in the title for about £125 and I assume they would both do pretty well the same things but is one better than another and if so why please? Anyone got either and what do you think of them?
Like, are both sets of gasses equally expensive and equally obtainable. Do they use the same fittings (so I could use whatever gas I found easiest / cheapest).
I still have my BOC account and Saffire kit so could always get some more bottles if I had a specific job etc.
The next one to go will be the Argoshield, when I get a non rental Argon / Co2 bottle that is.
Every little helps .... ;-)
Cheers, T i m
