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.

Good job I posted to UK DIY and not UK Serious Pipe Fitters then
innit? I've used the pliers almost on a daily basis for 18 months, they
show no signs of wear or damage.

They are far from full pro quality and the price reflects that.

Do you have a set?

I have real hand tools. I did have Lidl water pump pliers and they lasted 9
months.
