Engineer PZ-57 Screw Pliers M2

Did its job perfectly. Removed 4 stripped screws from my Switch Lite.

I had my doubts for this and had kept this in wish list for few months, before actually ordering it. One of the screws in the cooling chamber of my laptop was damaged, the screw head was all messed up. The plier is great for M2 screw sizes (laptop screws etc), it is actually not very big in size and that makes it ideal for such screw sizes. Highly recommended, changing thermal paste can give a performance boost and increase the longevity of your laptop, I guess 2.5k is worth the price.

So basically I was trying to repaste my laptop and one of the heatsink screws got stripped (size M2x3).. I tried a lot of things.. elastic band.. soldering something to it etc.. but no luck.. Then I came across this and in 30 seconds the screw was out!! I really didnt have much hopes but this worked wonders.. It is expensive, but it will do what it says..

Stavo provando a svitare le viti che bloccano il sistema di raffreddamento del mio notebook per cambiare la pasta termica (visto che da quando l'ho conprato non l'ho mai fatto) e nonostante il cacciavite con la punta più adatta che avessi, un paio di viti si sono spanate. Dopo aver provato il metodo dell'elastico, della colla, anche dell'estrattore (sono spesso delle fregature queste punte) sono incappato in queste pinze e ... finalmente sono riuscito a toierle con facilità e anche con mio stupore data la facilità con cui le ho svitate. Sono davvero ottime, ben rifinite e di un metallo resistente, mi hanno salvato. Giusto un consiglio, fate comunque attenzione quando stringete la testa della vite perché il metallo delle pinze è ovviamente più duro di quello della vite e potete intaccare il bordo rischiando poi di diminuire la superficie su cui fare presa, nonostante mi sia successo comunque sono riuscite a fare grip anche sulla piccola superficie disponibile della vite. Vi allego la foto di una delle basterdelle (vite con testa piatta! La più infame probabilmente da affrontare).

Tuve una experiencia de terror al ser principiante en estar modificado mi Steam Deck, para amplificar su SSD. Al principio tenía demasiada confianza de que iba a ser un proceso facil, ya que habia tenido poca experiencia haciendo cambios similares. Confiando de mis herramientas (no tan buenas al parecer) barri este tornillo, y hice lo que nunca debes de hacer que es forzarlo hasta que pierda forma. Intente de los dos métodos universales: el del pegamento y la liga de goma. Ninguno funciono. Buscando en foros de Reddit respecto a este tipo de problema, especifico del tornillo del SSD de la Steam Deck, encontre a alguien que sugerio esta herramienta, fue el llamado divino que me hizo tener la solución! Al principio no tenia esperanzas, ya que intente ligeramente hacerlo con otra herramienta similar a esta, pero no funcionó. Pero, la compre aun asi, y vaya que ni fuerza le tuve que poner para sacar el tornillo! Una maravilla de herramienta. Tuve mucho cuidado de no dañar nada de la SSD de fabrica, y no hubo nada de problema. Muy recomendable, al parecer ese tipo de tornillos son un dolor de cabeza, al ser tan delicados. Así que si también sufres de este problema y te llevo a esta herramienta, mi recomendación es: ¡Comprala! Funciona bastante bien

While changing the hot end on my 3d printer, I ended up stripping one of the screws. After going through all the online forums someone suggested these special Japanese screw extractor pliers. I did a quick search and found these on Amazon. As I was desperate, I ended up ordering one of the recommended pliers. Unfortunately I had forgotten that the screw was only half exposed and there was not enough room to get the pliers onto it. We ended up drilling into the screw which broke the rounded head off. So now we only have the stub of the screw exposed (oh oh). Miraculously, these pliers were able to grab onto the stub, and as a last Hail Mary, we were able to twist the screw out of the hole. So these Engineer pliers basically saved the day! The tip of these pliers were designed to grab onto tiny screw heads used in electronics. The pliers themselves don't feel cheap (or look cheap) in your hands either (thank you Japanese quality). 100% worth what I paid for them, and zero regrets buying them. They will be helpful, heaven forbid, if I have to deal with a situation like this again.

I was skeptical that this product would work on a badly stripped M3 screw but I figured for the price it was worth a shot. It far surpassed my expectations and the screw was out in under a minute with minimal damage to the surrounding area.

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.
