Engineer pz-57 Mini sized Gripping Pliers / Screw Extractors (non-slip jaws for quick removal of damaged screws), ESD safe. Made In Japan. M2 neji-saurus, Black

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.

Quality product, feels good, looks good, and above all works perfectly.

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.

One quirky tool, must have in the kit

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.

Oh my god. These saved my life. I FULLY stripped a screw while replacing my m.2 SSD. Using all the "life hacks" I couldn't get the screw out. Ordered these in the evening, they came before 13:00 the next day and got the screw out within about 5 seconds. Not used them a second time, but god they're gonna be nice to have when I inevitably screw (lol) up again. They were nice and compact, so I could reach my motherboard in my tiny PC case.

Neat & good quality

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.

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

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