ENGINEERHeavy Duty Multi-function combi Gripping Pliers/Screw Extractors (non-slip jaws for quick removal of damaged screws). Made In Japan. pz-59 neji-saurus RX

Had a large screw stripped and in the wood really dang tight. Tried the rubber band trick and it didn't work. Started messing around with a dremel, trying to make it fit a screw driver again but that wasn't going well. This tool got the screw out easily and quickly. Well made and affordable. Highly recommend!

I LOVE these. They are amazing when it comes to getting nails/screws/whatever that nothing else can seem to get a hold of. I mainly use these as a demo tool though, so that's what i'm judging them as. They're super tough and are a good price. They're the exact same thing that Vamplier makes, just cheaper because of the different name-brand. Buy these instead and you'll be happy.

5 years later and they are still my favorite pair for wiring.

I initially bought the PZ-59 for a "just in case" since I've often used pliers with much struggle, and busting out the Dremel to make a slit is annoying. I don't like "drill bit screw extractors".PZ-59 success, which led to more purchases without hesitation:I needed to replace a poorly-installed door striker plate, and one screw was horribly stripped by the installer.I reversed it out just enough until it fully stripped.I struggled to get a good grip with vice grips.I cut a slit (my go-to!) with a dremel for a flathead...so much torque was necessary (on a #8 or #9 screw) that the screw head split, which was a new one for me. At least now I just cut it off with the dremel and got the striker plate off.So I cut the screw down flush with the door jamb and just put the new plate over it. I always wanted to remove it though.Months later, I got the PZ-59, removed the striker plate, and gave it a shot for fun.The screw was cut nearly flush, yet I still got a very slight grip on it with the PZ-59, and I remember applying much less effort because it grabbed on much more surface area than vice grips.I backed it out with ease, so excitedly, that I called my sister over to try and experience it!PZ-57 success:This is absolutely awesome. A couple of tiny screws (M2x3 size with a head thickness defintely less than 1mm) on a used laptop motherboard were stuck and I couldn't get them out.The PZ-59 was too large, and I didn't have much hope, but I bought PZ-57 anyway despite it being "too small" of a set for the diameter of the screw head, and I bought the PZ-58 as another "just in case" if it was too small.The PZ-57 easily gripped and got the screws turning ridiculously easy compared to all the forceful pressure I applied with the screw driver, and I was NOT wanting to cut a slit with my dremel.I don't need the PZ-58 at the moment, but I'm keeping it because the PZ-59 and PZ-57 are so ridiculously excellent. I'm sure I'll have a use and next time I won't need to order and wait for it.Buy it and try it. These are the right tool for the job!

worked great, had tried standard drilling extraction kit no go

Great quality line man type plires this company make tools for Vampire plires at a fraction of price.

These are excellent pliers and work great as linesman, their cutting ability is outstanding while maintaining portability in a compact package. They also work excellently on bolts and panel opening (love that feature of the curved jaw). These are easy on the hands and twist wires extremely well.I wouldn't recommend throwing out your Kleins though, due to what I assume is their better cutting angle/higher leverage along with smaller length these have a more challenging time stripping wire sheathing from the mouth than traditional 9" linesman designs but Im sure thats more my experience in technique with these pliers than the tool itself. Its a slight learning curve in that sense if you are used to ripping off wire sheathing with your linesman these will do it but need to be held in hand at a slightly different angle than 'normal', they work excellently with great cutting ability and I cannot overstate how awesome the jaw design is for accessing panels and doing general work. Also due to their more compact nature they make for a poorer hammer so keep your kleins around for knockouts and nail hitting.(These are nice pliers that have more capabilities than traditional linesmans, we all know we keep limited tools on us at work, these are a great addition. If you do mostly roughing in work youll probably use these for the tie in but hold on to your heavier 9" traditional linesmen as their mass is awesome to have when needed, these are light weight and easy to carry which is awesome for that but can be a downside if you need good ol smacking pliers)Totally recommend these, not instead of traditional linesmans (klein) but in addition, youll find yourself reaching for these far more often than the usual 9", the jaws and cutter are outstanding.Update a while later: these are still awesome! With confidence I can say they work great on wire from 24awg to 6awg and beyond the sheathing striping is a breeze once you know where to hold the pliers (I choke up on them more than I do with full size linesman) and they cut fantastically, outstanding pliers from delicate to robust jobs. You won’t regret it

Can't remember where I heard of these. I work as a handyman, and I provide tools to my helpers. One pair got lost. One helper liked it so much he ordered his own. I ordered a couple more. One unopened one, is a back up. It's just a very useful tool. I believe it's the same as the red one, it just has green plastic handles.
