Needed some new linesman and have been wanting to try something from Vampire. Wish they were just a bit bigger (should have got the 9") but they'll do just fine. The quality is obvious, very nice pliers

The red grips make them work better

Never seen this brand before but the fact they're called "vampliers" has me sold already.

Those screw extractor vamps saved my goat when nothing else worked

I don't use these often, but when I need them, nothing else will do

Yeah, as a professional screw stripper I'll be putting these to use sooner rather than later

I have the meddle nose cutter combo ones. Really cool. Building a secondary mini bag to put them in currently. Just got my Fluke 302+ for this small bag setup. Have to do a screwdriver and some water pump pliers also.

Have a whole tool pouch roll of these. Love them. Spent way too much but I really prefer red over green.

u/MotorBoatinOdin1 8h ago

I have both and still prefer red over green

God these things have saved my ass more than once. Fingers crossed you won’t need to use them very often!

I got the Engineer branded ones but these are absolute game changers. Worth every cent.
