cheapest Co2 regulator and tank will these work?

I found a regulator for a co2 tank new and the price is 34.00, a 20 lb tank 99.00 is this a good deal?

the regulator says its for mig and tig welding,

"gas regulator designed for light and medium duty MIG/TIG"

Don't see why not. Check this one out for a few more bucks. http://www.ritebrew.com/product-p/843618.htm

I think the welding one is a flow regulator, not a pressure regulator. The picture says 'litre/minute'.

The provided link has 6 reviews of this product, 2 of which are from homebrewers that say it works great.

Get a pressure regulator for CO2 that's setup to work with beer systems. Mainly one that's for pressure, not flow, rates and has gauges that work in the range WE use/need. IMO, trying to go cheap on a regulator is foolish. As for the CO2 tank, if it's aluminum, and with a really recent hydro date, grab it. If it's steel and/or has a date more than a year out, pass.

If you're interested in saving money here's a 20lb reconditioned SS tank with a fresh cert for $62.

The reg posted in the second thread looks pretty good, if the shut off valve is also a check valve it would be a great purchase. If it doesn't have the check valve try out this but it's more expensive. I thnk prices on everything has gone up during the holidays. I was going to buy a 11 gallon SS pot from amazon a few weeks ago, checked on it today and the price went up 10 bucks. Anyway here is a great regulator from Kegconnection even if the price has gone up. Taprite regulator

+5 on the Taprite from KC...
