Unboxing: Vampire Mini Lineman/Screw Extractor and Meterk EMF Radiation Detector at Last Best Tool

[@jonferraez]

The Engineer PZ-57 model (exactly the same specs as this Vamplier model made in the same factory) for sure worked well for me for a 2.5mm tiny screw that was holding in an M.2 based Wi-Fi card (the same screw size that M.2 NVME hard drives use) in my motherboard that was totally bald on the head (they over torqued it from the factory apparently, and the metal was fairly soft). The surface area that I had to work in was not much larger than a normal Philips screwdriver could fit into so trying to drill it out would not have been fun, and on the other side of the motherboard in the exact place I'd have been drilling was the only M.2 NVME hard drive connector port (so that ruled out me drilling). I ordered this and it worked the first try to grip the 2.5mm head size completely stripped head screw, after I tried various other tricks like rubberband, tinfoil, and latex gloves methods of screwing it out with various Philip head screwdrivers (that did not work at all). So yea it is very good at smaller screws, but it is nice to see it could work for normal head size screws too (the PZ-57 box only says it works with from 2 to 3.5mm). It seems from this video that is very underrated or understated and it seems like it could support up to about 9.5mm (which is what the PZ-58 model is rated up to actually, from 3 to 9.5mm as that box states). Either way you can't go wrong with this brand, made in Japan and nice packaging that states all of the specs in both English and Japanese.

Engineer from Japan makes them. They make some amazing hand tools. In the UK its cheaper to get the Engineer version than the Vampire ones

the thing they really really shine is holding round stock or round something, like if you try to machine something round on the bench grinder, they really hold well
