Let’s face it, this is a really nice set of pliers. Does it do more than a regular set of pliers, is it worth the extra cost? I say, yes. I haven’t used these all that much since I got them, but when I do reach for them, I’m never disappointed. In summary, this is a kick butt set of pliers and I recommend them.

Better yet, I modified a visegrip’s jaws to accomplish the same thing 35yrs ago for submarine repair work.
Your intro just played full blast in my wifes ears. RIP me
Bullshit pliers….nothing my knipex can‘t handle.
Oh and by the way…the best tool to handle those screws in the video is a screwdriver…not a plier!
Looks like someone used the wrong bit on that screw, like PH2 instead of PH3, or PZ2 instead of PH3 or something similar.
It might be worth checking these guys out… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07678B78G/ref=emc_b_5_t?th=1
They're awesome! Very well built!
The jaw design is from the Crescent brand “gas line” pliers. My grandpa was a steam fitter and always had a pair with him. Not sure when they first came out- 40’s or 50’s maybe. Crescent discontinued them at some point, my father found NOS 2nd’s online recently and bought me a pair. The vampliers are definitely more beefy and add the sidecutter.
Lmao the comparison between the two different pliers is a joke right ?
C'mon, this is a really piss-poor review for pliers which cost 35 bucks a pop.
I have the vampliers and they work really good love it
Engineer just released locking pliers on Amazon!
Price kya hai
Good
Kan købes i Danmark hos AB Svejseteknik ApS. https://abshop.dk/product/200-mm-kombinationstang-engineer-pz-59/
How they holding up?
Nice pliers, but how many type of pliers do I need? I own dozens already. Well, if that company sends me a free pair to review, I'll use them for sure. Can they be used for hose clamps? Do they have any automotive applications?
Will these work on a stripped torx fastener? Got a 13 dodge dart and the caliper mounting bracket bolt is stripped (Thanks dodge for using a torx). The fastener is round on the outside with the torx in the center.
do they work good on nipples?
These pliers are actually made by Engineer. You can get them at a fraction of the cost from Japan! These VAMPliers are the pro version equal to Engineer PZ-59 Negi-Sauris. The VAMPlier slip joint are the same as PZ-56. The mini are the same as PZ-57. The sandard vamp are same as PZ-58. Engineer makes a bunch of other pliers, cutters, wire stripers etc too. The only difference is the colour of the handles and the etching on them. They put red handles, put a new name on them, jackecd up the price for the American consumer. Don't underestimate them Japanese. My teacher years ago is Japanese he told me. American's sent them a drill bit with a note "we made the world smallest drill bit". Japan sent it back with a drill bit drilled through the middle of the American drill bit. lol I'm from Canada BTW and have owned the Engineer pliers for a long time. I got a lot of friends from Japan. I just came across Eric's video's recently. Thanks for all the video's Eric! Gave me some idea's and a few good laughs too.
whoa! 115 Euros in Germany!
Another pair (which may actually be the original if I am reading it right) here in Japan, are called Nejisaurus, and they are made by a company named Engineer. Engineer's specialty is pliers.
Neji, or ねじ means bolt, in case you are curious.
vampliers…. i can feel the blood poring from my fingers already
You've lost a lot a weight, Eric!
#32,567, Oh gosh.. cammed out screws. My nemeses! Working with many phillips screws.. somebody has a Reed and Prince. I could choke it.
great tools
Pliers, that have no use but to strip hexes were originally invented for battery terminals on electric cars in the mid 1800s 😉
nice eric I'm gonna look em up on ebay!!!
did you get a new camera? the quality of your video is amazing!
Made in japan=good
Made in China=usually not as much
made in japan pretty much means its bullet proof those guys dont mess around
I don't care how good it works. It is as ugly as a land-cruiser. I don like it.
If you like those, you'd love gas line pliers. You can look them up on EBay. They have the same screw-gripping serrations in the front of the jaws, but additionally, the jaws are shaped to grab round stuff. The handles are very long and they are hardened way up like a file so they grip unbelievably well and you can use them where you would never think to try pliers. They are amazing for rounded fasteners, tie rod ends and adjuster sleeves, just for a few examples.
You're making me want to get a pair.
Eric you compared therm to those channel type pliers..not fair a comparison,compare them to Kliein and other piers ment for electrical work
Barbara's Van, again on the shop???? :/
