mini Sized Screw Removal/gripping Pliers with Unique Non-Slip Jaws for Quickly extracting Damaged Screws, ESD Safe. Made in Japan. Engineer pz-57 M2 neji-Saurus

This is a fantastic tool! I own a Hewlet Packard HP ZBook 15 G5 laptop PC which has two slots for M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD cards, and wanted to remove and replace the installed SSD. Despite using the correct size screwdriver for the small M2x3mm cross-head screw holding the board in place, the head of screw quickly stripped. It seems HP, like many other manufacturers, used a strong thread lock compound on the screw, making it almost impossible to remove! I tried using my set of Moody mini screw extractors with no luck. I then tried super-gluing a screwdriver into the head of the screw, but after curing for 24 hours the bond quickly broke when I applied torque to the screwdriver. I purchased these pliers as a last resort, after which I was resolved to sending my laptop to HP to see if they could remove the stripped screw (which would have been an expensive and time-consuming process). The pliers arrived today, and I set to work this evening. The head of the screw is very thin - less than 1mm, by my estimate - however the pliers easily and securely gripped it without sliding off. Because of where the screw is positioned, it is obstructed by part of the inner PC chassis, so I was only able to rotate it perhaps 1 degree at a time. However, after a few minutes easy work I managed to fully unscrew it, and without any damage or scratching to the SSD board and PC chassis. I may never need to use these pliers again, but even for just this one occasion they have saved me considerable time and money, making an incredibly frustrating job quite simple. I should also mention that they're superb quality, over-engineered and finished to a standard I've come to expect from Japanese tools. Best few quid I've spent in quite some time. Highly, highly recommended.

Japanese-made import. Did great on two rounded-off flathead screws when all other methods on the internet failed – rubber band, superglued-in screwdriver tip, using Dremel type tool to cut a groove into the screw face for a flat bladed screwdriver etc (which was unsuccessful as its height was less than 1mm).Squeeze the handles only tightly enough to stop the pliars slipping both around and off the problem screw. And initially it is best to rotate by a few degrees in a controlled manner, as despite the steel construction the contacting ridges on the jaws are necessarily shallow for gripping the outside edges of very small diameter screwheads. Consequently they can be deformed out of shape permanently if too much pressure is applied. A previous reviewer recommended tapping the screw's face if practical to help unstick threads (which I did), applying a light penetrating fluid if rusted or particularly tight is also an idea.Were it allowed, half a star could be knocked off for the seemingly high price of these small pliers, yet it is clearly a specialist tool. 5 stars is definitely justified however when factoring in its high quality Japanese construction, comfortable-to-hold esd-safe handles if you have average sized hands and most of all, the relief of getting out of what are highly frustrating, near impossible situations! I could not find a similar product from another manufacturer. Who knows, maybe thanks to the UK-Japan trade deal signed around 12 months ago these and Engineer's other products will eventually cost less.

I bought this product for removal of a stripped m2 SSD screw that was properly stuck into my laptop, preventing installation of a m.2 ssd stick for *MONTHS*, blue loctite and all! I previously had purchased a drill bit set, which ended up doing more damage to the screw surface, and not much else. In comparison, these pliers were able to easily and immediately loosened the screw with just a smidge of a twist. I was forced to take it slow and steady, due to the screw being in a location that prevented full rotation. Less than 5 minutes later, it was fully out! The head of the pliers is definitely able to reach into tight spaces, the grip of the jaws onto the head is perfect, and the handles are easy to grab and keep hold of. I recommend this whole-heartedly.

Bought these pliers to remove number plate light screws in a 30 year old car. Screw heads had rusted off and in a awkward position so couldn't be drilled etc. These pliers worked perfectly. Quick delivery too.

I think the tittle says it all, I bought one set of these and I have bought two more since (of different sizes) they are great nice smooth action, nice and hard jaws the grip all the screw I have tried them on well and the handles are comfortable.I can definitely recommend these I would buy more but the 3 pairs I have cover there range.Why only 4 stars ? I prefer to give 4 stars as there are fewer reviewsCan take a little time to come as they are importedEven the smallest pair get a good grip

Absolutely amazing tool! Managed to unscrew (with ease) an M2 screw which held the heatsink of HP laptop. Where all other methods failed, and I was about to loose my mind this hero came in and saved the day! Highly recommend!

The moment you take this tool from the pack you can tell it is well made, superb close fitting jaws, quality grips and a beautiful finish to the steel. If you have ever been stuck on a electronics repair trying to remove a jammed tiny M2 screw, then no screw extractor will do the job without damaging the components around the screw. What you need is a well made pair of pliers built to grab the side of a small screw from above (most pliers are built to grip sideways and are therefore useless for the task). Gripping from the top is what these pliers do. Wonderful !! Saved a very expensive laptop from the scrap heap by enabling me to replace the motherboard.The Japanese wizards who make these things ("ENGINEER") have an amazing range of innovative tools you never knew you needed until you saw them - next stop - the sideways ratchet screwdriver !!
