VamPliers - stripped screw removal

#1

Post by wog »

Ordered a pair of these off Ebay after reading an article in the latest edition of the VJMC magazine.

Seem to work well. Especially if I used an extra pair of pliers (channelocks) to do the turning.

The first pair I ordered were too small for almost all GL fasteners, but the larger (VT-001-8) work fine.

The smaller (VT-001) does work well with carb screws.

Not that we ever encounter stripped screw heads! :IDTS:
Great to keep these old 'Wings flying on down the road.

I also read the article in this months VJMC Magazine and was thinking about buying a set. Thanks for helping me to decide.......if it's good enough for Wog, it's good enough for me.
