go to AIRGAS they exchange them, no refills, just $20.00 Exchange.

Most any welding shop will do exchanges.

Yup, do a search for AirGas, they are all over the place, gotta be one nearby.

Is it in Billerica? Plank St. WESCO? Welders Supply Cryogentic East? or at least that what it use to be, if that is the place your talking about.

 

[frank180reef]

yup that is the one, yes my first post was a bit cryptic!
that should be pretty close to the poster

thanks

It is actually called Plank St, because of the original owner who may have passed away now. Peter Plank the founder of WESCO. I actually worked there for my first big job out of high school. Wow, a big $7.25hr back then.

That was back when a company could have a Xmas party and serve drinks on company property...

Sorry, did not mean to steal the thread.

Is $25 about right for a 5Lb bottle?

That's too much for a 5lb trade-in. A 5lb bottle at AirGas would run me under $15

It's not a trade in. Paintball wizard

$25 for a tank? or the refill? I pay $12 bucks at airgas just a tank exchange for a 5 gallon.

25 for a refill is a bit steep if that is what u r getting... Refills are around 16.00 bucks I think I'm paying for my alluminum 5's..I won't exchange them...These were bought new & are in very nice condition...Not all oxidized!!!!I leave them & get them back the next day usually...I get 2 or 3 filled at a time...makes it nice to swap out when u run out while not having to panic!!

 

[richccjr]

Just called airgas in Billerica. $22.00 for an exchange...yickes!!
AquaMan, where are you getting your refills?

 

[JohnK]

for 5, 10 or 20 lb?

 

[richccjr]

5 lb bottle

 

[JohnK]

IIRC my 20 lb is under $30 to exchange at the local welding shop
