They used to be standard equipment for many contract framers. They are supposed to be virtually unbreakable. I have heard that they are built like tanks!

A working underpinner for £50. Deals like that, what's there to think about?

Spares might be hard to find if you ever need any, but for £50 you can't go wrong. They were built to last, so if it works o.k., it will probably keep going for years.

Chances are you'll get a lot more than £50's worth of use from it. Don't forget to try it before you buy.
