Features and benefits
- Patented VAMPLIERS technology: Vertical and horizontal serrations create a firm, slip-free grip, even on severely damaged screws.
- Time and cost savings: Combines multiple functions in one tool, eliminating the need for multiple pliers or specialty tools, reducing repair time, and improving efficiency on the job.
- Access fasteners in tight spaces: At 7.5" long, VAMPLIERS are compact and portable, letting professionals reach stubborn fasteners in confined areas. Compatible with screw heads 2 – 5.5mm (0.08″ – 0.22″).
- Cut, crimp, twist, bend, and grip: The integrated 10mm cutting blade handles copper (3.2mm), steel (2.6mm), stranded (8mm²), and stainless wire (2mm), while built-in crimping (1.25–3.5) and intermeshed teeth allow technicians to terminate connections, twist wire, bend metalwork, and grip small components — all with one tool.
- Pro-grade durability: HRC60 high-carbon Japanese steel jaws withstand daily professional use, reducing replacement frequency compared to consumer-grade alternatives.
Origin
The 7.5″ Multi-Purpose Screw Extractor Long Nose Pliers w/ Crimper, No. VT-002-7LN, was developed to solve a common frustration among professionals: removing damaged, stripped, or rusted screws without resorting to drilling or replacing entire parts. Inspired by the founder’s experiences repairing cars in the 1970s, it became clear that a versatile and durable tool was needed — one built to last for decades. This vision led to the creation of VAMPLIERS, the professional-grade solution trusted by technicians across industries.
