I saw this kit in Lidl yesterday. Thought perhaps some of the tools
were for pipe bending, which I do fairly often but it seems they're
for putting thread onto pipes.
I know the old iron pipes used to be threaded but what modern plumbing
pipework has threads cut into it these days?

Lots but rarely at DIY level.
I thought it was a bending set, apparently like you did. That's why
it's still on their shelves, no use for it.
