VampliersVT-001-8 (2-Pack): 8" PRO Linesman Pliers, Screw Extractor Pliers to Remove Rusted/Damaged/Specialty Screws, Nuts and Bolts. Made in Japan.

I own a ton of tools from the tool truck brands all the way down to 1920s vintage American made tools. One thing I can tell you is these are absolutely expertly made. Leave it to the Japanese to manufacture something that is near perfect. They are ergonomically excellent in every way that I can tell so far and have been fit perfectly with no wobble or slop in the tooling. I could go on and on, but basically this is a tool that is 'perfect' in every way so far. The only thing I cannot yet test is longevity or durability, but the tools I'm still using from the 80s that are Japanese tell me I won't have any issue with these either. Massive thanks to the manufacturer for choosing Japanese production. Outstanding tool.

It’s the Japanese technology!!!! No matter how dead screw head is, you can easily pinch it and turn it.

The screw piece in the picture was only 2 mm out of the wall and more than 2” inside so it was well stuck. I had tried to remove it with all kind of pliers without success.These pliers worked the first time like it was nothing. I took the first picture as it came 4 mm out and the second after it came almost completely out.

Bought this as a last-ditch effort after I stripped the hex screw in my printers heater block. Wasn’t sure if the screw head was big enough for it to work, but holy crap it worked first try without issues. I understand you can cut a slot into a screw and then use a flat head screwdriver, but this is a much better alternative. At least easier to try before cutting the slot. Build quality is great, you definitely get what you pay for. You will not regret your purchase!

Excellent gripping tool that is well made

The linesman have a very grippy jaw so if you're going to be using it just for removing rusted screws and whatnot you should be happy with the tool. The crimper looks solid as well, but I didn't get a chance to try it as I plan to return these due to my dislike of the side cutters. I wasn't impressed with how snappy it felt when cutting 14awg Romex. It reminded me of using nail clippers. Klein and Knipex both cut through wire much bigger than 14 and they do it so much more smoothly than these pliers.

They're easily the best lineman pliers I've had the only down side so far is they rust so easily

Worked perfectly, extracted stripped screw just like it said it would do, very well made and very sturdy. Highly recommended.

High-quality pliers from Japan.Very useful and effective for the removal of rusted and damaged head fastener.

They are expensive, but beautifully made.Do what they profess to do with those awkward screws.

Cutting blade is quite small. I couldn't cut 2.5mm TPS cable.

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.

These pliers are just fabulous. Best I've ever used.
