Bottle exchange - Home Depot

admin

I need to do some work this weekend and forgot I was low on gas for the mig. My welding supply quit opening on saturday. Just wondering if anyone has done the bottle swap at Home depot? I don't want issues when I go back to my guys later. I own the bottle, its a 125cf size (i think)
Reply:I can only get disposible bottles of MAP, Oxy and propane at my Homiedepots. Only in Texas would you find a 125cf at Homiedepots. Does the Hdepot have a better price than your Wallymarts for 125cf tanks?I would think your LWS wouldnt shouldnt care about a once in a while Homiedepot tank if no name is on the collar(owner bottles).
Reply:No bottle exchange at my local HD. Never heard they did it.GravelThe difference between theory and practice is that in theory there is no difference.
Reply:I get my bottles exchanged at my Local home depot in the Dallas area.  Kind of frustrating that they are often out of C25, but usually have the 100% argon.Checkout my youtube channel:  http://www.youtube.com/turbocobra
Reply:I know TSC will swap Praxair cylinders on evenings and weekends.  Handy, but only if you're a praxair customer.

Reply:I got side tracked on another part of the project (not welding), so I didn't bother. It is Praxair bottle exchange. I'll just go in late to work one day this week and go by my local welding store. I don't need a problem with my bottle.
