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.

I looked at them today. Total trash. The pliers would not last 6
months. DIY three times a year use is their only function.

Perhaps you could explain why I've used mine on a regular professional
basis for 18 months without any problems?

You don't them much then.

No? Of course you can't, being a total ****.

You must eff off, it is good for you.
