ENGINEER PZ-60 Screw Removal Pliers, 193mm Long Nose Pliers with screw extracting serrated jaws

The ENGINEER PZ-60 Screw Removal Pliers are a total lifesaver when it comes to removing stripped or damaged screws. As someone who's used various tools over the years, I was blown away by how well these pliers worked. They’re from the same manufacturer as Vampliers, so you can expect the same high quality, and it shows in the design and performance. The jaws have vertical and horizontal serrations that grip even the most stubborn screws securely, making it easy to twist them out without slipping. What really sets the PZ-60 apart is the ability to grab screws from the top, which most traditional pliers can't do. It's perfect for smaller screws or in situations where you don’t have a lot of clearance. The ergonomic handles provide a comfortable grip, allowing you to apply a good amount of force without straining your hands. Whether you’re a professional or just like to tinker with DIY projects, the PZ-60 pliers are an essential addition to your toolbox. They offer precision, durability, and that reliable grip you need to tackle tough screw extractions.

the handles are grippy, the pivot has almost no play at all, and the price is great. over all a very functional pair of pliers that fits in a pocket.

I have quite a few pairs of Engineer pliers, and this is one of the only pair that could be used a regular pliers instead of just mainly screw removal. They're very well-made. Everything lines up perfectly. The jaws and tip of these aren't made to touch together completely when closed, but will still grip onto flat material because of the way the teeth interlock together. This is done so the cutting blades come together perfectly with no gap anywhere. The handle material feels great. There is no play in the joint and they function very smoothly. The screw removal portion is made for very small screws. These are very nice pliers.

ENGINEER NEJI-SAURUS green handle pliers are identical to Vampliers. These are Japanese and made for the Japanese market. Vampliers have red handles with English instructions and cost significantly more. You get what you pay for. These aren’t a substitute for true high end (SnapOn, KNIPEX) needle TIP pliers, but they are excellent needle NOSE and if they’re your only pair, then they will do what you need. They’re the only pair I’ve ever used that have large, aggressive teeth that actually mesh perfectly- the result is that they grab anything you put in there- even thin wire. There IS ONE DISASVANTAGE. The tip has two cutouts intended to grab the head of small screws. This feature is useful, but it makes the needle nose gapped and for this reason, you may not be able to use these as effectively in that one application- it’s a trade off in my opinion and an acceptable one. Needle TIP pliers come to a sharp point and are used to grab tiny pieces in confined spaces. These are not meant for that. These are meant for small parts big enough for blunted needle NOSE with gapped teeth. I personally need both pliers, but now reach for these first due to the extreme serrations of the perfectly meshed jaws behind the nose. Awesome pliers. These are the least amount of savings of the Engineer vs Vampliers marketing scheme- the best deal is with the linesman style pliers, which were literally 35% cheaper in the green handled line. I compared both side by side and can assure you that they’re made in the same factory from the same steel on the same machinery and have the same exact packaging with the difference being in the translation and red handles on the Vampliers. That’s it. I own the tiny ESD electronics pliers, needle nose, and the linesman. There’s an intermediate pair i returned because after close examination, I concluded that the other 3 pliers will cover all my needs and that the intermediate pair were redundant. If this is your only set of pliers, but those as well. If you want to try just one pair, the linesman are great, but these needle nose are more useful. I normally use KNIPEX German made pliers(the best) and SnapOn tools. I have used Channel Lock and Craftsman in the past and they’re garbage compared to Vampliers/Engineer and KNIPEX. KNIPEX are the best, but these Engineer pliers are very close in quality and serve a special purpose, such as removing stripped machine or sheet metal screws. I use these on circuit boards because manufacturers like to fill screw heads with glue, hot glue, loctite, super glue, you name it- to prevent tampering or 3rd party repair. These pay for themselves fairly quick if you’re a mechanic or technician.

These pliers are awesome and they do exactly what they say. The only reason of minus a star is that when you really squeeze the grip to clamp down on something you might notice a slipping sensation towards the end of the pliers. It feels to me (my hand is disabled so take this for a grain of salt) like the grip wants to slip off. I do not have sweaty palms and I always wear a glove on this hand. Its interesting feeling and it's probably not a thing but I will continue to out this through the test. There are other brands out there that do the same thing. I chose this brand for a reason, because I like well engineered tools and they have to speak to me when im using them and the pliers are really good. The screw clamp is absolutely mind blowing how much grip and force you can put on a round headed screw and twist. I used to think my linesman pliers were the bees knees but these ought to be in your journeyman bag. One small thing is I wish the handle was about 1 25" longer into a drip and then up. That extra 1" will probably max out these pliers but man i cannot imagine how much force it could generate on those really tough jobs. I like it. The grip design is unique. The size is wish could be a bit longer but man these pliers are cool and I think well priced.

Great tool. Grabs screw heads tight. Wished I learned of this brand earlier. Great quality. Another quality tool added to tool collection.

Great quality product and works as it was designed. Every tool box should have one of these

Fantastic set of expensive but excellent multi-use pliers. These can do just about everything you might want to do. In particular I like the shearing cutters over traditional pinch cutters. Cross hatched jaw ends provide good grip, but note they extend only half way across as the other half is longitudinally curved/hollowed for screw and nail extraction.

I spent days trying to get my laptop back cover screw out. It was only 4mm wide and had been ruined beyond hope. The screw was also in a recessed part of the back cover so it was difficult to reach and on top of all that, it was a completely flat screw. This one screw was preventing me from accessing my laptop's innards. I tried using those screw extractors, where you drill and then use the extractor, which made things worse. I used superglue to see if I could form a makeshift groove for my screwdriver to no avail. I did NOT have hopes for this tool, but the reviews swayed me. I got my hands on the pliers and, to be honest, they did not look promising. I grabbed on to the screw with them but they slipped off. I made a small indentation in the laptop plastic so both sides could grab on to the screw head better. Once I had a firm grip, I slowly started twisting the screw and then...it happened...the damn screw finally budged! I kept rotating the pliers slowly in the narrow space and pulled the cursed thing out and hurled it into the pits of hell where it belongs. I cannot be happier with this product.

Excellent pliers for stripping cable easily and quickly. Whether you're stripping 2.5mm T&E, 1.5mm 3 core & earth or round flex cable, these Japanese pliers are the bee's knees. The handles are very comfortable to hold. The cutting blades are very sharp and precise making clean cuts every time. Be warned the cutter blades are only for cutting copper and soft materials. You can cut electric socket screw bolts with the hole cutter provided just above the crimper. I tried this function and it works well using just one hand. I haven't tried the crimper yet. In the video you can see me stripping and cutting 2.5mm T&E and 1.5mm 3 core & earth cable. The other cable I'm cutting in the video is 10mm T&E. In the past I've only used linemans and combination pliers. Never owned a pair of crosscut pliers before, but I will definitely be using these from now on. The way the nose is designed you can also screw/unscrew screws. The size of these pliers is 8 inches or 215mm which is fine but I would like them even more if they were an inch longer. Other than that I would still strongly recommend these high quality, very well made Japanese pliers.

Ferramenta altamente precisa, eficaz

La pinza è eccezionale. Ha una forte presa sulle viti grazie alla particolare sagomatura dei lati interni dei becchi. Ho estratto una vite con la testa danneggiata da una scheda elettronica senza problemi. In alternativa avrei dovuto usare un estrattore con filettatura rovescia, col rischio di danneggiare la scheda.

Eine etwas andere Zange als die klassische Kombizange. Die mir aber gerade deshalb jetzt schon bei einigen Montage- und Demontage-Arbeiten sehr gute Dienste geleistet hat.
