[Shop-talk] harris welding torches and blue point jack?

[Jack Brooks]

<LOL>  Yeah, I bought it new from a shop that refilled on site, so I just
assumed I'd always have my pretty new cylinder.  I moved and all the shops
here swap because they don't fill on site.  I do believe they sell the gnome
created tanks.  I do miss my shiny new tank though.  <sniff, sniff>

That's why you usually buy the tank from the dealer in the first place - you
get a rusty old beater tank in the first place and never have any higher
expectations  ;-)

Did you actually buy NEW regular-sized tanks ?/  I'm not sure I've ever seen
really new tanks, except the little portable ones.  I thought they were made
by gnomes in the forest, and then beaten up and rusted on the way to the gas
supplier the first time !!
