Because me good one has gone amiss? cost £9.95 but for the life of me cannot 
remember where I bought it as it was at least 4 years ago.

I came across this in B&Q and reminded myself why I never shop there.

Lidl had a kit of bar and wedges recently for only a couple of quid.

I saw that in B&Q and was also a bit stunned at £15 for a bent lump of 
steel.  The el cheapo one that came in the kit I bought ages ago has lasted 
for about half a dozen laminate jobs, but now needs hammering back into 
shape.  That one does look a lot better made.

Looks similar - although the pull bar is either longer or not so broad.

To get that last plank down especially next to a plasterboard wall can
be difficult as the pull bar is a bit feeble and you can not lever
against the wall if plasterboard.  I just put rubbed the tongue & groove
with some abrasive paper to give a snug but not too tight fit, then
assembled with plenty of glue.  Done 3 rooms like that without failure.
 The first room still has a gouge on the floor face from when the bar
jumped.

I'm aking one with an old router guide plate that was doing nothing but 
gathering dust.

You know that plate with two guide rods you get with most routers? just got 
to find a steel flat bar for the puller lever.
