Where to Buy Welder/ Air Tools?
Im looking to buy a mig welder with gas conversion, as well as one of them air powered metal cutting tools... I've checked price for welders at CTC, Home Depot and Princess Auto, but none seem to have a good selection of air tools. Any ideas guys?

i was thinking of just renting some oxygen and acetylene cylinders then "borrowing" the welding tips and such from my dads work... i think the rental is like $170 a year.... but the big plus is that you can weld obviously but also have a cutting torch or a heat source for burning out stubborn bushings... just takes a little finesse at first with the welding part
you can also do tricky stuff like heat treating and annealing too

we have o2 and acetylene with the required tips if you need to use them... I already got a 5hp compressor.. and i've been told the princess air tools are crap! I im thinking i would prefer to buy the air shears (now i know what they are called!) for warrenty reasons...
