Screw removal pliers.

[studabear]

A while ago I was flicking through ebay (under the influence of San Miguel I imagine)

I stumbled across these pliers.

They are very very good, I got them as I see a lot of air filter housings with rusted out screw heads and so far they have not been beaten, today I had a Mondeo where every screw was buggered, the pliers made short work of them, then I cut slots into the screws for refiting.

How are they where the screws are slight recessed into the (plastic) air filter casing? This is a common problem on Disco3 and RRS airboxes, where previous services have not greased the screw heads.

I haven't came across any of them tbh. But so far every screw I've tried they have undone.

I wonder how well these would work on the rear shoe to backplate springs and retainers? I helped a neighbour with his t25 van and these were a proper fiddle - I’m glad I only have cars with disks.....,

I'm a big fan of Japanese made tools, they are great value for money

Can highly recommended Ko-Ken sockets and ratchets particularly the z series and nutgrip versions (wish I had known before I got the Snap-On bug 😒)

Vessel screwdrivers are awesome too (JIS makes a big difference if you work on Japanese vehicles)

KTC make some really good stuff too, they have an ultra high end range called Nepros (very expensive but beautifully made)

These guys are great for Ko-Ken tools in the UK

These nutgrip sockets are brilliant

I have a Vessel JIS 2 impacta screwdriver - super tool for Japenese motorbikes.

The Japanese are definately challenging the USA now in this world of e-commerce

I dare say Ko-ken and Vessel are a bit more innovative and more affordable
