Oxycon supplier - Tufnells or Off Mandrel???????

Hi

Realise there is a thread about Oxycons but this is really to ask if anyone has got one from Off Mandrel before?

I have bought most of my stuff from Martin so far and was going to go to him for the Oxycon, but then found they have one on Off Mandrel at considerably less dosh (£234 inc. hose and clips, as opp to £520 from Martin - albeit with a torch).

Wondered if anyone has got one from them before and if they are reliable.

Many thanks Sarah

Tuffnells Oxycons are £235 see http://www.tuffnellglass.com/contents/en-uk/d28.html abut 3/4 way down.

I bought mine from off mandrel as they gave 5% web discount but it was delivered from tuffnells. It is 2 years old and still well.

Ahh - I didn't see this, must have stopped at the 'Ultimate Kit' stage.

THANK YOU

I have used two Oxycons from Off Mandrel and I was surprised how good they are and reccomend Sean. I am sure, as the saying goes other suppliers are equally good but I havent tested them.

I've probably got this badly wrong, but aren't the oxycons all from Tuffnell's anyway, regardless of who you order from?

i dont suppose it makes much difference but i would check what support is available should there be a problem

Yep i think your right Shirley, i do know that Martin is very good if you have any problems though

I got mine from Tuffnells too, only had it since October but it's running great.

Tbh I don't think it matters which of the two suppliers you get it from as they are both really good, probably just down to personal choice in the end. Good luck.

I have bought one from each, both are very good.

They do come from the same place. Mine came from Off Mandrel and the support from them was excellent
