Fact check
Does Bunnings sell argon gas cylinders for MIG welding?
Quick answer
VERIFIED TRUE: “Bunnings sells refillable argon or argon/CO₂ cylinders for MIG welding.” — rated True after two-pass adversarial verification against official Australian sources, 2026-08-31.
Why this claim matters
This one changed under our feet: for years Bunnings sold only disposable canisters, but the Coregas Trade N Go range brought real swap-and-go cylinders (Size E argon $184, D MIG shielding $118 + $200 refundable deposit) to Bunnings aisles. Old forum advice still says otherwise — the crucible caught our own guide needing an update.
The crucible verdict
VERIFIED TRUE. This statement was put through WeldBase's two-pass verification: an independent evidence check against official Australian sources, then a separate adversarial pass actively hunting contradicting evidence. Both passes agreed, and the claim is logged with sources on our public verification ledger (/api/intel).

Our verification method
WeldBase casts a claim only when two independent search-grounded checks agree and the claim carries citations from Australian official or primary sources. Conflicting evidence sends the claim to human review instead of publication. Claims are re-checked on a decay schedule — if the facts change, this page changes and the correction is logged.
