ENGINEER PZ-58 Screw Removal Pliers Stripped Screw Extractor

Hey tool fans! Are you looking for a simple, no-nonsense means to remove frozen/stubborn screws from computers, cars, motorcycles, machinery, appliances, or anything fastened with screws? Give the ENGINEER PZ-58 screw removing pliers a shot! You will NOT be disappointed. Curious? Read on, friends... Stuck, rusted, cross-threaded, or just plain stubborn screws are no longer something to dread. Use these pliers once, and you'll look forward to stuck screws! These aren't a "miracle" tool, just be aware that they will not work on hardened screws, so if you've got some of those infamously soft screws in your electronics (think of those butter-soft gold colored Philips screws that round out/cam out if you even think about taking a screwdriver to them), break out your PZ-58's and zip those suckers right out effortlessly. I'd say the pliers will grip screws up to maybe a grade 5 hardness, and get the job done. Something like a grade 8, and you'll just destroy the unique serrations on your pliers. I have used these pliers about a dozen times since receiving them, on various screws, and small bolts. They are a much faster, and cleaner option than using an EZ-Out, or a reverse toothed screw extractor. They're cleaner and faster than grinding a notch in the head of a screw, and bearing down on the screw with a larger screwdriver. Way faster and easier than drilling out a screw, or using a reverse drill bit (I'm old enough to remember those little beauties). If you buy a pair of these pliers, do yourself a favor, and purchase the matching cover. Since these handy little pliers (YES, there is more than one size, for larger screws!) are spring loaded, they are open in the resting position. The cover will hold them closed, so they tuck into your pocket, tool pouch, box, or bag much more neatly. Plus, the cover matches the handles...Let's just say that if you like the "Transformers" look, the cover really completes the look; like they will transform into the ENGINEER mascot, "Urus" the screw eating space dinosaur. NICE. They've earned a spot in my go-to tool rotation. They work amazingly well as a general purpose pair of gripping pliers, not just screw removal. Plus, they are beautifully machined and crafted, just like other ENGINEER tools. Quality, efficiency, value, and craftsmanship. Things that mechanically inclined people truly appreciate!

I bought these pliers because I had a stripped screw that I could not get out with regular pliers. I tried the rubber band method, tape, various screwdrivers, and everything to get one screw out of a fixture. I was so frustrated I tried for hours. Nothing worked, except these screw removal pliers. It took me less that a minute to unscrew. The pliers gripped on the screw. I twisted and twisted and got it out in no time. I highly recommend these pliers if you have a stripped screw. These pliers will save you a lot of time if you need it. Buy it. Quick and easy to use.

Ninjisaurus! It’s all in Japanese, but it works!! The screw was stripped and nothing worked to get it out. These pliers got the darn screw out! Saved my screen door. Love the name! Thanks to the you-tuber who reviewed it!

Using these Japanese-made Engineer PZ-58 "Neji-Saurus" screw extraction pliers on different cammed out/corroded/deformed screw head profiles over the last year, I can report good success. They are a genuine problem solver and a great addition to my toolbox. The pliers are spring loaded and the action is smooth. The machining and finish are excellent. The jaw depth, curved tip and horizonal & vertical serrations are well suited to securely grip small-to-medium sized fastener heads without slipping. You can approach the fastener head both straight on and from the side (if there is room). I do not use the wire cutter feature, so I cannot comment on it. Cammed out truss & pan head Torx & Phillips screws give me the most trouble; regular pliers, needle nose pliers, vice grips, etc., will not do the job. I’ve used these extractors to bite into screws made of medium carbon steel, stainless steel, brass and aluminum. I have not/will not use them on any fastener I suspect is made of Rockwell C 60 high carbon steel, for fear of ruining the jaws/serrations. Because they are spring loaded, you will need to buy the cover (...with its dinosaur face) to keep the jaws together when the pliers are in storage. It would be nice if the manufacturer produced a vice grip version of this plier. Happy customer here. Hope this helps...

I was very skeptical about this purchase at first, but these pliers WORK!! They aren't the easiest to use, but once you get them set on the head of the screw, they allow you to easily turn the stripped screw out. I had a cabinet door with the screws that had been painted over so many times you could not even tell if the crew was a phillips or a flat head, but these pliers grabbed on and allowed me to turn the screw right out.

it definitely works as advertised but its going to requires lots of strength

This might be the most impressive tool I've used. I recently bought a new bike and one of the bolts that was over tightened by the factory was stripped when using a hex key to remove. Unfortunately these bolts are very soft and have a shallow domed head making it impossible to use traditional wrenches or pliers. I took the bike back to the shop to see if they could remove and they were going to charge me $55 to drill it out. I said no thanks since I just bought the bike from them and there shouldn't be an extra fee for a simple adjustment. A different bike shop tried a slightly larger hex key as well as a torx key to see if it would grip but they just made the bolt hole rounder. I decided to try this product based on the good reviews. I first put down a layer of masking tape followed by duct tape around the bolt to protect the frame. I gripped the top of the bolt with the pliers and a quarter of a turn later the bolt was finally loose. Literally took 3 seconds. I'm so happy this product saved me the time and money of having to take my bike to a shop. I'm going to replace all bolts with better ones but am glad I have such a useful tool for when I have stripped bolts or screws the next time. Highly recommend.

There’s nothing this can help with. I bought it to grab a stripped screw. Worked perfectly. Since then, I have used this for multiple applications where other tools slip. This is a must have in your stash.

Bin Hobbymechaniker und repariere regelmäßig Autos, Motorräder und vieles mehr. Diese Zange darf mMn in keiner Werkstatt fehlen. Sie ist vielseitig und qualitativ Hochwertig. Ich habe sie schon mehrmals im harten Einsatz (z.B. an einer abgerissenen Schraube angesetzt und noch zusätzlich mit voller Kraft mit einer größeren Knippex zusammengedrückt- sie hat gehalten und hat keine Schäden davongetragem) Sie ist jeden Cent wert! Absolute Kaufempfehlung!

さすが、噂通りの使い勝手の良さ

Fantastica pinzetta per svitare viti incastrate o con la testa non più operabile mediante il normale giravite. Personalmente l'ho trovata molto comoda ed utile specialmente in tutti quei casi laddove non è più possibile svitare una vite o bulloncino con un normale utensile in quanto la testa si è rovinata. Ringrazio innanzitutto AMAZON che come al solito è stata fantastica per quanto riguarda i celeri tempi di spedizione, l'imballo e la qualità dei prodotti consegnati. Quante volte capita di usare il cacciavite della misura non corretta o magari di operare su viti corrose o troppo dure in modo che l'usuale cacciavite non ha più la giusta presa sulla testa della vite. Ecco, in tutti questi casi e non solo, questa pinza corre in aiuto del malcapitato rivelandosi un valido ausilio per completare il lavoro. Si tratta di una pinza (meglio dire pinzetta) molto semplice da usare, di robusta costruzione e con la dentellatura studiata per fare presa anche nei casi un po' più difficili. Ha anche una molla che consente una facile apertura durante l'uso. A me è servita in molte occasioni e mi ha dato sempre una grossa mano di aiuto. Dal mio punto di vista ed in base alla mia esperienza, può essere tranquillamente usata in diverse posizioni ed in tantissime occasioni. La marca è una nota marca giapponese sinonimo di qualità, l'impugnatura è ergonomica ed offre, a mio avviso, una buona presa evitando che la pinza scivoli via dalle mani durante l'uso. La dentellatura delle ganasce (tra l'altro fatte di buon acciaio) conferisce un ottima presa sulla testa delle viti e dei bulloni che devono essere rimossi. Nel mio caso ha perfettamente contribuito a soddisfare le mie esigenze. L'ho già usata svariate volte e mi sono sempre trovato bene riuscendo a portare a termine il lavoro senza eccessivi sprechi di tempo. Secondo me è un articolo consigliatissimo.
