What do you mean by 'beneficial'? Is there something specific you are

I might suggest an oxy-propane torch. You sometimes (affordably) see
them on eBay.

I use oxygen generators rather than oxygen bottles. Much safer though
generators are not cheap, even when second-hand. So I guess you might
start with a bottle?

Didymium Glasses to cut out the sodium glare and UV.
