I needed a hot wrench for the new shop. the one i had at the old shop was only half mine. i owned the gauges and the hoses and my friend owned the tanks. it was a cheap torch set so rather than argue, i left it.
i got this today, found it on ebay a few days ago. 135 dollars picked up. picked it up near norristown.
not sure if i can exchange the tanks or not, the oxygen tank is larger than 125cf for sure.
good news is both tanks are almost full.
Got a oxygen acetylene torch set.

When I bought a torch from a supplier that also sells the gasses I had to buy the oxygen bottle and rent the acetylene bottle. You should be able to do a lot of cutting with that big tank.

looks like a 200 oxygen tank, acetylene looks like a #3 size tank. Look at ring on top of O2 tank, should have company collar plate saying what company owned it. Airgas or Hahn's don't sell 200 tanks anymore.Largest O2 tanks you can buy are 80#'s, and #2 acetylene. Tractor supply sells the bottles, and Airgas will do exchanges on tractor supply bottles.
Airgas bought out a lot of other gas suppliers over the years. if you can provide proof it was a sold bottle on either, before laws changed then they have to exchange bottles.
