As the mot on my car is approaching fast I need some Bernzomatic oxygen cylinders (the disposable ones) for use in my small Oxy-propane set as it heats up stuck nuts and bolts without setting fire to the surrounding paint work.
I usually get the cylinders at the local B&Q but they have stopped stocking them, so if any body has seen then in the north east of England please let me know.

Bernzomatic appear to be distributed in the UK by Irwin Industrial (Record, Marples etc) who are now part of US firm Newell Rubbermaid the parent of Bernzomatic in the USA.
So much for the history. Have a look at Irwin's site
Bernzomatic Oxygen is still mentioned on their US website.
Irwin don't list the Bernzomatic cylinders, only the the smaller mixed fuel ones (Camping/blowtorch cylinders) The PDF brochure on Irwin's site mentions the Butane and MAPP cylinders but no mention of O2.
I hope they havn't stopped them in the UK, I have two Bernzomatic dual cylinder kits and they're very usefull for brazing & small welding repairs at the roadside. B&Q used to do them, and I see the Propane cylinders in local Halfords, but I can't remember if they had the MAPP or O2 ones.
That said, the O2 cylinders don't last long at all, especially if you need to cut something. I may convert my kits to take a larger BOC portapak O2 cylinder.

I found two at the local halfords, but if they stop stocking them (assistant didn't know when the new stock would arrive) then I may have to go the portapak route.
