VAMPLIERS 8" Stripped Screw Extractor Pro Linemans Pliers Made in Japan

Honestly, the quality of these pliers simply blew me away. I've read the reviews and if that was not impressive enough, I watched a number of YouTube videos regarding the pliers and I can't find anything negative about them. Well, they arrived quickly and I'm impressed. The machining is absolutely spot-on perfection and they operate with absolute fluidity. The teeth are sharp and precise and really grab on with a massive amount of power, easily removing most broken bolts. The cutter is incredibly sharp, leaving clean, accurate cuts, precise and ready to us. While the handles are not perhaps as smooth and comfortable as the Knipex insulated tools, they're every bit the quality of any European produced tool and miles beyond anything produced in China. These will not replace standard slip jaw pliers, but that's not their designed purpose. I wouldn't perhaps refer to them as linesman pliers, but yes, you could use these in place of your Kleins if you're working with smaller guages. Okay, these aren't exactly cheap, but when you look at them up close, examine the detail and precision machining, it's honestly a wonder they're not $70.00 a pair. WOW! I plan to use these on my work bench, where my favorite, daily-use hand tools are lovingly placed within reach. These are an absolutely recommended addition for anyone who builds, creates, wires, plumbs, designs or works with their hands, professional or DIY'r.

Wish I had known about these earlier! Worked just as described on a 16mm wide screw head that I stripped when installing my roof rack cross bar bracket on my Landrover.

I had a stripped phillips head screw in sheet metal. (see pic) I tried EVERYTHING to get it out - went through two easy outs - did nothing - tried tapping it tangentially with a center punch - nothing... (You can see the scars I left on the head from the tap) I went on amazon to see if I could find a really expensive easy-out that might be better and ran across this product. I thought there was 1 chance in a million it might work - but since Amazon allows easy returns, I gave it a try. My wife was there when I tried it, it turned so easy... She said, "Did it work?", and I said "It feels like it, but it must have just slid off... It cant be this easy... " But upon my second attempt, I realized it HAD WORKED!!! Absolutely amazing!!! You can see in the pic that the head was very thin with little metal to grab on to.... The arms are very long and easy to grip - gives great mechanical advantage on the screw head.

Tools used in real life don't always live up to their reviews, but there are exceptions. When I unpackaged the Vampliers, they seemed strong and sturdy. The real test came when I tried to remove a rusted and immovable outlet screw from an outdoor box. I tested the screw before using the pliers, and it wouldn't budge. But when I used the pliers, I was able to easily turn the screw and remove it. Highly recommend Vampliers!

These are amazing pliers. They work great to remove fasteners with stripped heads, and are an excellent all around plier, my favorite. They are one of three tools I grab for almost any project. I've built over two miles of net wire fence using these. They are great for grabbing wire or fasteners from any position or orientation. When new, they glide open and closed and are a joy to use. BUT when exposed to even a minimal damp environment for any length of time they rust and seize, making them unusable. The rust is too severe for simple lubrication (e.g., machine oil, WD-40, penetrating oil, etc). The only thing I've found that restores them to near new function is a half hour with valve grinding compound. These would be perfect if the metal were more like whatever Knipex uses in their amazing compound cutters. I've had the Knipex cutters alongside the Vampliers building fence and doing assorted other projects for over a year. The Knipex cutters are near perfect, no rust after a year's use while the Vampliers have had to be compounded twice. If these weren't so good otherwise they wouldn't be worth the trouble of keeping them rust free or getting them working again after being in a damp environment. Overall, even with the one drawback, I highly recommend these.

This is my 2nd pair. First pair I got 2 years and 9 months ago. Bolth are pictured. I use them for concrete work as linemen pliers. I am hard on them. The rubber handle coating started to fail. First the handle liners slipped off, so I epoxied them back on. Then they stared to tear so I taped them with hockey tape. I like the extra grip anyway. Any other pliers would also have issues with their handles after being abused over a long period of time. They also work well at gripping screws. I would highly recommend these.

If you are able to clamp the screw then buy this and skip everything else! Works exactly as advertised. Very nice pair of pliers that have a good durable feeling when holding them. When using it, the grips are very comfortable as well. 10 out of 5 stars!

Does the on. I had a deeply embedded screw with a stripped head. The vamplier grabs the head tightly and allows you to twist and unscrew the problem easily. A normal pliers was useless.

Semble tenir sa réputation....mais j'ai toujours peur de la perdre (prix élevé).

Although I have only used these a couple of times for their advertised purpose (damaged screw extraction) I am very pleased. Due to the way the teeth are cut into the jaws of the pliers, they are able to securely grab damaged screw heads and facilitate their removal. Particularly with smaller screws (where getting a grip is more the issue, rather than overcoming the tightness of the screw) they can save a lot of time and aggravation. Compared to traditional screw extractors (where you have to drill a hole and then insert a left hand threaded extractor) these are far easier to use and have a higher success rate. The pliers feel like a quality item and fit my hand well. Definitely recommended to have in your toolbox even though they are a bit pricey compared to other hand tools.

Pinza massiccia, impugnatura comoda, acciao giapponese, molto utile .

Tarde 4 años en esperar a que bajara el precio ya que para unas pinzas si es algo, pero cumple con lo prometido. Fueron recomendadas por el canal de Youtube de Project Farm. Las mejores de su categoría.

Forget everything you know about pliers. These Vampliers are built for one thing: total domination over stubborn hardware. I’ve used them on stripped Torx and rusted hex bolts, and they haven't failed me once. They are now a permanent resident in my 'Top Drawer' tools. If you do any DIY or mechanical work, just buy them. Your future self will thank you.
