Vamplier Pro unboxing. Snap On doesn't come even close at Last Best Tool

- After falling in love with my small pair of Vamplier screw extraction pliers, I immediately ordered the biggest pair Vamplier makes...the Pro. The Vampire Pro is amazing! In my immediate tests, they pulled free all test screws, and snapped apart those screws unable to turn. Can't get any stronger than that.
I've wanted some Vampliers ever since the first time I saw them! I think it was on Bearded Seabees channel. Adam Savage says his favorite pliers are the Engineer Pliers. I will have a pair (Someday)! 🔨👍😁👍🔧
I just used the Vamp Pro pliers to remove a stripped tore bolt that was locktited into a brake disk on a $8k mountain bike. My only other option was to drill it out, but that's risky on a $200 hub. And you cannot leave out a bolt or the heat will warp it. So my Vampier Pros just paid for themselves.
All i ever did with my fully loaded snap on tollbox with every single wrench imaginable including these Vampliers was adjust a bicycle seat snd build a $7 bird house. I will still find another tool i "need" wait for it..
@@lastbesttool what is the difference between 8 inch vampliers pro and 9 inch vampliers besides that 9inch ones have crimpers?
@@Johnwickpifpaf”lineman’s” pliers vs 8” pliers
Just arrived home to find my 9inch vampier Linesman waiting for me. I’ll let you know how they are Doc. They are the big brother of those ones, and as a Journeyman Electrician by trade, it means they are about to be christened tomorrow. What fun!
Excellent! Enjoy and share the experience.
How are they after a years worth of use?
@@lonedesertfox they have there place. But not everyday. Went back to my Knipex.
@@calvinpaul4456why’s that ? I’m between these and knipex although I’m sure I’ll have both eventually
pro tip.... buy engineer instead (same product cheaper price)
also.... the ones you have are great but i find the locking pliers and slip joint ones the most useful. the water pump style ones are really great too
They really are a treat to use on loctited Japanese bike carburetor screws. Truly amazing.
Vessel Impacta JIS screwdrivers. Honda/Yamaha/Suzuki/Kawis, daily use, it’s like they were made specifically for Japanese bike techs.
I've been using the Engineer version as my main pliers doing electrical work for about 4 months. They're great, but the t shaped handles did nothing to prevent the handle scales from sliding off. I had to use E6000 to get them to stay on.
That lock mechanism is actually Spyderco's proprietary lock design, and its actually much stronger than a liner lock. Being located in the spine of the handle scale allows an extended portion of the liner to be wedged between a small cutout in the tang of the blade and the stop pin... It's called a compression lock.
Thanks for showing us those pliers.
You bet. Thanks for watching.
The biggest problem with Snap On is their insanely inflated price. The tools are generally good quality, but I'm not paying that premium for the name when something like this preforms just as well or even better.
"Just as well"? Even Knipex is better than Snap-on
Well said
Sweet knife. I currently have 5 spiderco knives and a bunch of other brands but I've not seen that one. Very cool. I love the compression lock!
Nice pliers to!
Would be great to see these compared against the Knipex TwinGrips for this purpose instead of (or in addition to) the linesman, SnapOn, etc.
engineers are better than twin grips but itrs very close and twin grips are way more versatile
And they are cheaper under the ‘Engineer’ brand. Handles are green not red. Now try and get it taken care of under warranty.
My only gripe with Vessell,Vampliers and others, is that the steel used is too soft or not hardened properly. I’m looking at the 3Peaks Japan pliers.
The Wolf Spider is a scandi ground knife and the locking system is a compression system hope that helps
I've the green engineer version, love it!
Prefer the VT-001-9 to the VT-001-8
Engineer make some very good tools. Have a look at the vessel ball grip screwdrivers and impacta ones very handy
I've got my eye on a Vessel. And bonus points for the variations on a screwdriver theme.
Yeah, I never paid the extra bucks for the red handles but yes Engineer Inc./Vamplier are amazing. The flush cutters NS-04 are incredible.
How about high-leverage screw extraction pliers? Sometimes the screw extractor pliers slip, but if they were high-leverage too, they would grab even better.
I can see you admire small tools. Have you had a chance to play with Chris Reeve Small Sebenza?
I ordered a vintage new in box kershaw DWO off ebay from a seller in colorado, it is currently in Rochester New York while I am near Salem Oregon =/ hopefully it reaches me! its a week over due and items I ordered earlier and later have already arrived =/
So far, all my late shipments have eventually arrived. Hopefully yours will too.
Imagine these pliers with a force multiplier like bolt cutters have.
Interesting idea. However, if you can snap a screw with their current design, where would more force go? However, anything larger would benefit from a greater grab force.
I love Vampliers. You should try Matco's locking flex head ratchets with the comfort grip. Best ratchets in the world; especially the black ones:)
I'll look into that ratchet. Thanks.
I have a chrome locking 3/8", 15" I think. My only issue is it doesn't sound as pleasant as a snap-on, maybe I need to use it more. Otherwise agreed I like the grip, the locking mechanism, and the longer handle length than snap-on offers.
Hi, interesting video I am a lover of hand tools; he can put links of the tools used in the video the pliers the knife and also the screwdriver and other tool that he used to pry; thank you very much
Same $$ and buy Engineer. The green color is also way cooler.
Great video love the knife talk before every video!! Definitely a great plier!!
Great video
I love a good unboxing !
How do you like the snap on linesman pliers? Are they comparable to Klein’s?
Would these work for tying tie wire on rebar work?
They would work about as well as any small lineman plier I suspect. The screw grip hole in the middle might cause more slippage than concentrating an advantage when tying wire. Just all a guess though.
What is the part number to the snap on high leverage pliers?
HL138ACP

@@lastbesttool Thanks!
Nice Rolex Submariner
Let’s see a video on that watch 🤤
Considering the use of a screwdriver for a pry bar is an attitude for home workshops that don't use tools daily for a living. I would bet a years pay that at least 98% of mechanics have screwdrivers dedicated to prying and chiseling. Also sockets used as drivers along with wrenches and sockets ground to fit a purpose. When you have to get a job done you use whatever it takes especially when your away from the shop and you run into non textbook situations which seems like the only thing I get anymore. Rust, corrosion and previous handy work are just some of the culprits that create these situations.
Nobody gonna say anything about the ez rip line on the amazon bags? No knife needed 😂
I own and enjoy using a number of different Spyderco knives, but that one doesn't tempt me at all. Sharp corners on both ends of the handle and impossible for left-handers to use. I'll pass.
You can buy a piece that attaches to the compression lock so left handers can use them. The only left handed compression lock you can buy is basically a pm2 or 3 in s30v. I am also left handed btw.
@@konnan216 Thanks for the info, but there are plenty of other knife options out there.
Impressive.
Cool! Just need to work on your camera angles. Your arms often block the view of your demonstrations.
Yeah. I didn't know I screwed up until I watched the video. I'll do better next time.
@@lastbesttool no worries man! Just here to support ya :)
😎😍😎😍😎
Okay
Fujia pliers made in japan blow knipex and vampliers away
I'll check them out. Thanks for the tip.
Yeah no.
Cute used to describe manly tools? 🤦🏻♂️
Gross
Went ahead and unsubscribed. Enjoy the tool reviews however when I have to wait through a knife review first....not worth it. Thumbs down.
you can jump ahead you know
That's a shit reason to unsubscribe!
This guy does a lot of talking and philosophical explanation and zero actual work with the tools to prove their worth
