| Hi. I got a lot of great advice and discussion in response to my post asking about gas welding equipment.
My new question follows on the heels of this advice from DirtDoctor: "get a good oxy/acet rig. don't buy used regulators they could be damaged or faulty. When your dealing with something that can level a shop, dont skimp get the complete torch setup from harborfreight they have a great warrenty on such items."
Okay, but I'm in Canada, and so far as I've been able to determine, Harborfreight doesn't have stores in Canada. (Shipping, duty, and currency exchange would make doing business with them expensive).
If I want to buy good, new regulators and other oxy welding & cutting equipment (hoses, torches), at a *good* price, where should I go in Canada? Thanks.

| Maybe you should try this in a couple of other forums and see if that helps to get an answer... |

| I got mine at a farmer's supply store, since most farmers know at least a little bit about making a weld, well, sort of if Ag. welding hold for more then a few hours. A joke real welders tell on Ag. welders is; the bigger the glob, the better the job, lol. Needless to say industrial welders tend to go for what works best and looks better then Ag. stuff. |
