Just paid $66.00 for two 10# cans of Esab Atom Arc 7018 1/8". That was total with tax and hazmat BS from Airgas. What are you guys paying for consumables?"Where's Stick man????????" - 7A749"SHHHHHH!!

Reply:We just paid over $250 for 10 lbs of 3/32 Inco Ni-Rod 55 for a cast iron repair. Glad it didn't come out of my pocket!
Reply:I just paid $2.05/lb for 20lb of Hobart 7018AC 1/8".  Seemed reasonable to me.
Reply:I just paid $2.78/lb for 3/32 Excalibur in a 10 lb can.
Reply:The Atom Arc price is less than a quick search found online.Small quantities tend to go high.

Reply:It was $2.90 per # before the BS.Called Praxair and they were like $3.08 per # in a 50#'er!!! They wanted $5.00 per # for McKay 7018XLM 1/8" in 10#'ers!!!!!!!!Then, I called the farm stores and they're all about $2.40 for Hobart 7018AC in ten #'ers. I would rather have 418 than the AC. And I would rather have a sealed can VS. the plastic pak.Last edited by Stick-man; 04-28-2011 at 10:23 PM."Where's Stick man????????" - 7A749"SHHHHHH!!

Reply:All the extra fees add up fast!!!  ESAB Atom Arc in 10# Hermetically Sealed Cans typically goes for $2.50-$3.00/lb here in the Charlotte area.Welding is my hobby, I just happen to get paid for it!
