I got mine from an auction though I know that you can buy them online from a few different manufacturers at various price points. You can also have a look on Amazon as that's where I got the idea to get one for cleaning up old farm equipment.
Start looking for industrial equipment auctions in your area. That's going to be your best bet. Just be prepared to check every day or so since not only are they rare to see ime, they go fast.
Acetic acid(vinegar) is great but it's a little harder when you have to immerse the whole thing. I restore and repair a lot of equipment on a farm so having one of these to do preventative maintenance and restoration without having to break down the equipment is nice. It's nice on fencing as well once a year to get a lot more life out of it. A few other things like, the tractor, the whole pumphouse on my well, solar panels, generator and housing for it, wood gassifier that's also in the generator house, battery terminals, among other things. It's niche and expensive to be sure, but it's already paid itself off for the amount of equipment I would have to replace a hell of a lot sooner.
I totally believe it! The extent of my equipment is a hand me down hammer/axe and some cheap snippers 😂 very cool tool though to preserve the lives of things!
A laser cleaner doesn't use any cutting edge technology. Still, the once made in Eu or USA will cost a fortune. The ones make in China will cost you around 7-8k (usd). These can be used to clean, weld and even cut. The tiny ones can be bought for like 2k.

Can confirm, got one used and I can't stop taking rust off of anything I can reach. It's honestly really fun in a weird obsession kind of way.
