Think about all the times you’ve had to do small jobs around your home that involve a screwdriver or an electric driver. Whether it’s hanging up pictures, curtains, or shelves, or assembling furniture, your hand can get a workout while you’re twisting and turning. Some jobs are too delicate for an electric screwdriver or drill. Having to rely on a manual screwdriver can create a lot of effort on your part.
Unfortunately, as you’re trying to assemble or hang, you can damage your screws rather easily. Having a stripped screw makes life rather difficult, especially if you need to take that screw out again at any point. You may not be able to turn your screw with a flat-head or Phillips-head screwdriver because the screw is stripped. That’s when Vampliers come into play. These are designed to get you out of the toughest screw extraction situations.
Vampliers are engineered to succeed in tough jobs
These are made to get rusty screws out with ease
Vampliers come from the company Vampire Tools, a Japanese manufacturer that uses premium high-carbon steel for its professional-grade tools. It has an entire lineup of Vampliers, which refer to specifically designed pliers that can get you out of difficult situations.
Suppose you are using your electric screwdriver to screw in a long screw to hold up some curtains. As you’re pressing it into the wall, your driver slips and strips the head of the screw. You try to put your screwdriver back into the head of the screw, but it can’t catch any of the edges, and it won’t turn the screw anymore. What are you supposed to do?
I’ve been in situations like this before, and the goal is to get some kind of traction on that screw so it turns. A good set of pliers can feel like a forgotten tool, but even ones that you normally have may not work with their design. At that point, you either want to just get the screw out of the wall, so you can replace it. I’ve tried different methods, like putting a rubber band onto the top of the screw and adding my screwdriver against that in hopes that the rubber would conform to the top of the screw and allow me to turn it.
With Vampliers, they are engineered with a patented design that has serrations not only vertically down the tip of the pliers but also horizontally. This gives you a greater chance of being able to grab the side of the screw head, rather than having to deal with the stripped head. You can latch onto the side from a downward angle or from a side angle, allowing you to potentially spin the screw and get it to come out.
Vampliers are designed to be used mostly on screw heads, not screw threads.
What Vampliers are made to do
Screws of all kinds are no match
I remember I was taking my Peloton exercise bike apart before I moved. I wanted to remove the screen so that nothing happened to it during the transition. There were four small Phillips-head screws that held the screen to a part of the bike that needed to be removed. As I was removing one of them, it became stripped. I could not get the screw out. I tried all kinds of screwdrivers and pliers to try and grab this minuscule screw from any angle.
Vampliers are designed with jaws that have teeth-like grip from the tip of the pliers all the way up. That way, you can catch whatever screw you’re trying to remove and, not only grab it, but keep it attached as you aim to unscrew it. The serrations help maximize the friction between the screws and your hand.
The tools work with many types of screws, including stripped, rusted, Torx (any version), and dome-head screws. Even if you need a specific screwdriver to screw in a screw, Vampliers has a tool that can get it out if it becomes damaged.
There are different Vampliers for different occasions
You may want an entire set
Just as there are screwdrivers of all different sizes and all kinds of pliers on the market, Vampire Tools has a lineup of over 30 Vampliers tools. You can opt for ones like the vPLUS, which are 7″ pliers that not only have the ability to take screws out, but also have a wire cutter blade built into the head. There’s also the PYTHON water pump groove slip joint pliers that offer a push-button hinge for better adjustments of the jaws.
Depending on the space that you’re working in and how tight it might be, you may want Vampliers with longer noses, and you can get ones ranging from 5.5″ to 10″. You can use that extra reach if it’s difficult to fit your hand fully into the area.
If you want to cover all of your bases, Vampire Tools sells a 10-piece screw extractor tool set with a tool case. You get 5″ mini pliers, 6.25″ multipurpose pliers, 7″ slip-joint pliers, 7″ BOSS pliers, 7.5″ long nose pliers, 7.5″ JAWZ locking pliers, 8″ PRO Linesman pliers, 9″ Electrician Linesman pliers, and recessed screw extractors.
For other kinds of jobs, Vampire Tools sells Vamplier shears, wire cutters, cable cutters, crimpers, and more. You can get multipurpose versions of all of those tools, letting you double up the usefulness, depending on your most common needs for the tools.
