Hadn't even seen them, looks like a cheaper option. Will they let you use on site? Could see safety people being a bit anal about CO2

Yep, used the kit on site. Safer than the oxy acetylene that the welders use on site. There are as far as I know, no hazards from Co2 in this form as it's stored and used as a liquid, not a gas. Of course ventilation is required and you just open a window. The kit is a fraction of the cost of the big electric kit and a hell of a lot lighter. I store and carry my wee bottle of gas upright on a cheapo sack type trolley I bought in a local hardware shop and it's secured by a padlock and chain. This kit was my first choice as it can be used anywhere as it doesn't need power. I've had mine since 2014. Get yourself a good local gas supplier where you can first buy the bottle and have it refilled as needed. BOC will charge you an annual £80 rental fee on their bottles, so it's best just to buy one.

CO2 is an asphyxiation, I'm not sure how keen schools/hospotals/house builders/companies would be about it being used on their site. As its odourless its a bit of a concern haginv it in the back of a van. I guess you could fit a CO/CO2 meter to solve that. It obviously carries a risk being a compressed gas and cryogenic too.
