Argoshield Light – new, small 2-litre cylinder

This compact pack contains the same high-performing product for MIG welding as larger cylinders. But its small size and low gas volume is a better fit for occasional gas users.

The cylinder contains 494 litres of gas, offering about 50 minutes’ welding time.

It is offered at a low annual rent of £18.85 a year. It costs just £16.80 to fill it with gas*. There are no collection or administration fees. See our list of stockists.
