We've just bought the Draper ones which makes life a lot easier, it's just under £33 from Amazon at the mo which is a good price for these!

You would've been more than welcome to borrow them if you were local.

I see that kit too but the hose clamp pliers in that kit are different to the other ones so I gave it a miss.
