FYI available from Aldi on Thursday.

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.

I find them very usefil in studwork but I have found a couple of issues with this type of setting tool - bring it in from cold shed means condensation on the pulling shaft and the friction grips works less well - the pulling anvil is fixed to the shaft with a allen caphaed screw (at least the ones from sf) if this becomes loose and you dont notice then setting a fixing can often strip the thread out of the shaft - I've had 2 go like that in the 10 years I've used sf's version - I much prefefr the cantilever type with 2 handles but they are not so easy to get into confined spaces
