![]() Some years ago at a car boot sale I bought the kit in the picture for £1.
Last year I wanted to use it but could not get the oxygen bottle and so had to spend about £25 on an adaptor. The oxygen bottles are exceedingly expensive at about £27 but this is a disposable item. My £1 bargain has now cost £52. This is still no more then half a new price. Used it a couple of times. Today I made a bracket up for my shower as the original has snapped. As the bracket comes only in a kit and the kit is £59.95 + vat thought I'd have a go. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago I made this to hold my bottles. macafee2 |

![]() Not sure why you think that? For cutting they are equally as good, all about using the correct nozzle for gas and thickness of material. plus acetylene will cut stainless a darn sight easier than propane and if it's a decent chunk you've got no chance with propane, can't get it hot enough.
