I bought a set last time they had them. The waterpump pliers are
excellent, well worth £7:99 on their own. The waste pliers are also
excellent for getting that extra turn on a compression waste. Never
used the stiltsons but they are very solidly made.

Real bargain.


If you are using them occasionally for DIY, then they are fine. A
serious pipe fitter would laugh at them as they would last a month or so.


Unless you've actually tried them you're just guessing. And probably a
poor guess. Certainly Lidl tools are up to as much use/abuse as any other.
And better than many 'brands' at a much higher price.
