Is this even legal? Sharp & Scary router bit [video 561]

In this one I take a look at a router bit that looks like a medieval instrument of torture! As mentioned in the video I’m not linking to these bits, but they’re easy enough to find if you choose to go looking for them. And the 'legal' aspect is wether they comply with health & safety regulations in the UK.

Edited to add: in the video I refer to the price of the replacement bits for the Trend rotatip bits, and it's been pointed out that the price I quoted was for a pack of 10, so not as costly to replace as originally feared, though still significantly more than the cost of the replacement tips on this bit.
