It seems a strange policy by BOC, they are here as well, brought out all the competition stole everyones owner bottles and drove rentals to eye watering levels. This seems to have lost them thousands of customers and opened the door for new competition who, like the schemes Stuart described, do exchange bottles with a refundable deposit. I could not function in my workshop without Oxy Acetylene bottles, so incredibly versatile and far better for welding panels than Mig, the only real failing is when welding particularly thick steel, then a cheap stick arc solves that problem. That said I have not yet found a job on an A7 that can't be done with Gas.
