Welding supply's

[Zoobi]

Any one know of a welding supply store in the Ontario/Upland/RC area that's open Saturdays? I've been using Airgas on 4th but their not open Saturday any more and I cant get there during the week.

Well, it's a good long way from your area, but Action Gas in Murietta is open on Saturdays.

Pattons Metal has some welding supplies. I don't think that they carry gas but they might. They have three locations. Here's the website:

Was there not a welding place on Mission in Pomona or Montclair? Used to buy stuff from them when I lived in Pomona.

There's a Pattons off of Mission and California in either Pomona or Ontario. The website has a list of their other locations.

Thanks for the responses. Pattons is not too far from me. I forgot they have basic welding supplies.
I used to go to a shop off mountain and ninth. When they closed I started using air gas. Now their closed Saturdays and at five weekdays. I was able to sneak out of work today and get some wire for my mig. Now at least I'm good till I run out of gas again.

actually OSH on foothill carries the small spools of welding wire if you are in a pinch

Next time you run out of wire on a weekend check home depot. They carry the 10lbs roll(I think its 10 atleast) of lincoln super arc wire

Was at harbor freight and they carry the larger spools of welding wire in 0.020, 0.030 and 0.035 and for 20 bucks that is a pretty darn good price

Lowes works in a pinch, they even have mix gas on an exchange program. I like 5 Star Gas and Gear...

The guy at airgas on 4th told me last time I was there that Fontana & Ontario airgas stores were open sat.

HF MIG wire may be alright, but I wonder about the quality. Was having a mysterious problem porosity at one point, and a professional welder said that it could very likely have been the wire. He said sometimes the wire could have contaminants and, he'd have to strip off a bunch at at time before he could get a good weld again. I haven't had the problem since running out of that particular wire.

Now you know how the Chinese get rid of their toxic waste metals.
