I have the "brute" version. Works fine. Knipex twin grip works way better due to the slip joint. You get get the Icon version of it for $16 at harbor freight during the spring black friday sale active now for ITC and on friday for everyone else. The Icon twin grips work really well, I have the Knipex twin grips in 10" and 6" and the Icon in 8", I kind of like the adjustment mechanism better on the Icon.

Community Reviews

These 7 inch Vampliers are specialized stripped screw and seized fastener pliers that work especially well when regular locking pliers fall short. The Engineer made versions and the black oxide model get strong praise for reliability, with long term use on old bikes and other hand work. They are also described as handy to keep around for future repairs. The main caveats are that recessed screws can be out of reach, and cheaper alternatives like Workpro or Icon can cover much of the job for less.

  • The black oxide version can work well for stripped screws when cheaper versions disappoint.

    heathmills

  • The pliers can help remove seized fasteners, but heat or penetrating oil may be needed first.

    DealosaurusDaReel

  • The 7-inch size has been useful for long-term ownership across many variations.

    DealosaurusDaReel

  • The tool can be effective for restoring old bikes and can save time on stubborn fasteners.

    jnyip

  • Cheaper knockoffs and alternative brands can do much of the work for about half the price.

    DanzillaWooHoo2You

  • The 7-inch price has stayed around the same level for months, so it may not be a hot deal.

    Danzilla

  • The tool may not help when stripped screws sit in a recessed position like a sprinkler valve.

    Handiman

  • Quality differences between lower-cost knockoffs are uncertain, which can make value harder to judge.

Twin grips are magic. These are more "small lineman" pliers and they're worth the money, but you can get the engineer pliers-same pliers, but the branding isn't nearly as cool 😎

I have the black oxide version and they are amazing. I've tried some cheaper versions that have left me disappointed. I'm not usually one to spring for the name brand but stripped screws are always frustrating so it is worth having something that just works.

Been around this price for a few months now for the 7" ones, so not exactly a hot deal.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found them. The Icon's are not titled as screw extracting pliers. Just as push button slip joint pliers.

I've owned this plier, and many of their other variations, for nearly 10yrs. Fantastic product. I own them under "Engineer" brand which is the OEM company out of Japan. "Vampilers" is the rebrand, US based company, which pays for the rights to sell them here. When you need them, they come in real handy. For seized fastners/nuts, you will need heat or loose juice beforehand.

That "pro" model looks like a better deal all around, appears to be an improved version vs the link I posted.

P.S. Did you check the description of your link (not a joke)...LOL. AI gone wild Wink

"Linesman PRO and Screw Remover Pliers : Designed for work to Squeeze and turn crushed screws, rusted screws, fixed screws, special screws, etc. Can also be used for removing gas cans, sorting soy sauce bottles and plastic bottles"

I have the engineer version of these. I restore old bikes as well as do a decent amount of hand work, and these have really come in clutch and saved my ass countless times.

Are these really worth buying vs just using locking pliers?
