Electronic pliers, anti-static

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.

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.

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'm a fan of 'Engineer' brand tools and these are no different - very useful 'end grip' capable mini pliers.

The tool works exceptionally well for the one reason it was made for. My m.2ssd screw was completely stripped, i tried loads of screw drivers and sizes, rubber band, tape, superglue and normal needle nose pliers. This made quick work of the situation. A bit pricey but if it works it works. Also i am not too sure what the ESD claim here is.

I needed to replace the Wi-Fi M.2 card in a laptop, which was held in place by an M2 screw. I tried using a Phillips screwdriver, but it stripped the screw head instead of turning the screw. I did some research on the internet, and bought these pliers, the Engineer PZ-57 Nejisaurus m2 Screw Removal Pliers. I was able to firmly grip the edges of the screw head with these pliers, and the screw unscrewed really easily, without any damage! According to the packaging, these pliers can remove screw heads of diameter 2 to 3.5 mm with the top jaws, or 3.5 to 5.5 mm with the side jaws.

Fantastic piece of kit - removed a stripped M.2 retaining screw in a matter of seconds with no hassle.

Another reviewer mentioned using these to remove stripped screws from Laptop motherboards, specifically for the "M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD cards", and they were dead right on how good these pliers were. They worked like a treat. Looking at the packaging, they work on larger screws too which will definitely come in handy at some point. Build quality feels good. They also look stylish compared to my other generic pliers.

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

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 tool save me a lot of time removing stripped screws! with ESD safe it works perfectly in my line of work! This has been a life saver for me.

I tried everything to get those stubborn ssd and heat sink screws off my laptop. I tried heat, rubber bands, all the right screwdrivers and the big pliers at home but none worked and everyone told me to get those overpriced vampliers But this mini plier did the job just right It was my last hope and it worked wonderfully

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.
