Because they have a habit of getting lost, and there's a better chance of finding one if you've got a spare or two.
And also because it's as cheap to buy 4 as it is 1. :wink:

Price has dropped back to 99p

Fill ya boots

What's better than 1 radiator bleed valve? 4!

Bleedin' bargain.

I can never find my bleeding keys

Price has gone up to £5 now delivered so this deal should be expired.

Really? I had no problems with a slotted screwdriver on all of mine. Was I doing something wrong?

There are different types of bleed valves, B&Q used to sell individual one's for £1.99 which were the standard square or these rounded type 5 for £2.99, they slip and round the square edges if you try to use then on standard bleed valves. Beware.

Oh FFS I bought 2 of these for £1 last time.

Heat. Urgh.

Asked my closest 3 neighbours for 25p, we can have 1 each and I fleeced them for 1p.... oh happy days

​They probably have the ones you can do with a flathead screwdriver. Our towel rail ones are like this.

Why not just use a screw driver?

Why 4? What do you do with the other 3? Sell them on eBay?

ordered tks

No love, you go and do the washing up, this is a mans job!

Not just bad, my turning handle snapped off when trying to bleed the radiator! Fortunately it hadn't started bleeding as I didn't have another near-by.

Still available just purchased

These look, from the photo, like the head is shaped as a circle with a square inset in them. Does anybody know the point of that? Any radiator bleed valve I've ever seen is square headed.

Reason I mention it is I bought a couple of bleed keys from B&Q a few weeks ago having lost my old trusty one, and they were both of this design. As a result, they won't properly engage with the bleed valve and I only managed to loosen one of my radiators, the rest just slipped on the head. Didn't risk any more messing as they obviously weren't up to the job.

I was going to mention the ones shinds found as a good alternative as they appear to be the correct square head - what's wrong with those ones shinds?

I can confirm that these one's below are also totally rubbish!!
