Anyone used these pry bars from Silverline? (5 piece set) Worth having around for the occasional diy use? If not, what would you recommend for decent quality. All UK'ers step forward and speaketh.
Others are free to put in their .02 too of course.
I've been looking at Mayhew too but that is of course a different price range.

Have a nice day. :)

It's a 'no' from me. My dad has those, he's had them for ages and, although they're not bent or broken and he's perfectly happy with them, I find them far too flexible to inspire confidence.

If I'm using a pry bar, I want to know that it's going to put up with whatever I throw at it. I have these, which are very robust indeed, but they're more expensive each than the Silverlines are altogether.

Ok, thanks for the input. I don't mind spending a bit more money to get a sure thing. Mostly interested in the 8" and 12" sizes for now anyhow.

Have a nice day. :)
