VAMPLIERS VT-001-9. World's Best 9" Linesman Screw Extractor Pliers, specially designed for electrical work

They're easily the best lineman pliers I've had the only down side so far is they rust so easily

The linesman have a very grippy jaw so if you're going to be using it just for removing rusted screws and whatnot you should be happy with the tool. The crimper looks solid as well, but I didn't get a chance to try it as I plan to return these due to my dislike of the side cutters. I wasn't impressed with how snappy it felt when cutting 14awg Romex. It reminded me of using nail clippers. Klein and Knipex both cut through wire much bigger than 14 and they do it so much more smoothly than these pliers.

Good handle and is comfortable even with high force. Jaws grab onto pretty much anything. Removes stripped screws a lot easier. No complaints and I bought a few other sizes as well.

For $48.12 I expected stainless steel. I ordered VT-001-9-MF 9 inch Linemans pliers. They have a rubber grip but its NOT a comfort grip so I expect to wear goatskin or other leather gloves when using this pliers. Of course if you're working on possible live "circuits" you better be wearing the right kind of rubber gloves. The Linemans pliers I have purchased have two gripping sections one horizontal and one vertical. This is the only pliers I have seen with both on one pair of pliers. These are made in Japan and have a four year warranty.

Vampliers VT-001-9 are just very, very good. The combination of u-tube to show the brand, and amazonto buy it, for this product is just genius. Did not know this product and many others existed.
