if forge steel ones are anythin like their grips i wouldnt bother!
one of our guys bought a pair of screwfix ones and they bend 22mm so easily its almost like having super human strength, but they do ripple the pipe sometimes. iv had mine for so long i cant remember who makes em, theyre yellow tho. well were yellow, most of the paint is gone now.

They are all much the same but personally hilmor. None are as good as a stand up.
