Bargain at £8.99, the setting tool alone costs more than that

IIRC.
How useful are these things really? I'll admit to not being convinced
its worthwhile.


Aye, what advantage does the setting tool have over just tightening
the screw? I can see if you have a number to do it's quicker but
apart from that, consistency of set?


FWIW, I have had so many lose grip and spin in the plasterboard trying
to get the wretched things tight by screwing that I'm tempted to go and
buy it whether it's good or not! I also find it quite hard to judge when
the legs are against the board without going too far.
