if the screws have a vertical edge then yes, I have found some very small pan head screws I was unable to get a bite on to remove..

I think they would work for those screws since they're a low torque type screw.

Sorry Robert, I cannot answer that question as I bought the tool for my grandson in law who lives in Minnesota. He loves it and he was an Apache helicopter maintenance engineer.

No, You can not. They have their own a special tool for the screws. I tried to take my old one apart and could not.

These worked great for removing those screws. I also had stripped screws when removing the SuperDrive of my MBP. I bought these screwdrivers as a last try to remove them before bringing my computer to a shop. Just make sure to push down with a but if force when removing the screw.

Yes: remove the Q5 clamp and bolt the RC2 (Q2) clamp onto the ball stem with a M6 screw. Manfrotto uses locktite so use an extension on your hex tool to break the bond. I've done it several times and I'm not that strong. If you haven't bought this head yet, they sell a version with RC2/Q2 already installed (Manfrotto MH054M0-Q2 054).

I would check with dremel. I'm sure they'd be happy to answer your question. My guess is yes. They probably use the same threaded collet for most of the similar tools.

Everybody else is right, I'll add that to get that little screw out, you'll need a quality Phillips head screwdriver, the little ones for eyeglasses just aren't tough enough.

They will work... they are not sized as a wrench or nut driver... they are round but are aggressively made with sharp points to grab even if the hole is completely rounded. The problem here is these are QUITE SMALL and are made for removing very small screws. You can see by the image that they resemble "jewelers" screwdrivers 2-56, maybe up to 4-40, 6-32 is too large. Anything larger than 4-40 is probably not going to work. These work best on screws that are rounded off because someone was using a metric in lieu of a standard and vice-versa and the screw is not really imbedded with rust or threadlock for 30 years etc. Just want to emphasize, they are for tiny screws.

I was not able to. There is a large screw on the bottom of the head, but once I removed it the head did not come off.

I purchased the tekton to get spring loaded screws off of rotors with no problems. I looked at the $30 set and glad I bought the Tekron. I used it on two cars soo far with no problems. quality made.

Not really, I used them just as if they were the appropriate screwdriver. They grip the screw and allow you to remove it, but I would recommend you discard the screw after that and replace it. But if you have to resort to these, you probably were going to do that anyway.Hope this helps.

Yes. The screws are hex heads and if I remember right are eighth inch. You can get them at most hardware and home improvement stores. A hex head bit in a multi-bit screwdriver would also work if the holes are large enough for the shaft to fit. A long allen wrench is another alternative.

Yes, the handle is removable, until you mushroom out the hex. It just slides on and off the screw like a wrench. Not sure about the exact size of the hex, but a 30mm wrench fits slightly loose.

Take off the plastic pieces on top all of them and the tool will just screw on the top and come off. If this don't help you let me know I will send you a video of me taking mine apart.

The screws are proprietary, so you would either need a specialized tool, or you'd more than likely damage the tool.

VamPLIERS are not lifetime, high carbon stainless steel will fail. the Vampliers actually do what they say they can do! and are made very well.I feel in most cases you're using them to remove fasteners that other tools can't, and saving time by not using more tools together (many steps)= lots more time and the possibility to damage the connected parts.for me; i noticed after removing qty 200 of 50 year old #6 sheet metal screws. (The math, cost me 18 cents and <30 seconds of time to remove each fastener with no damage to connected parts. 2 hrs vs. 30-40 hrs of time.

I have had the same issue and I think it has to do with the torque of the fastener you are trying to remove, you have to break that initial torque on certain fasteners, bolts, screws etc., and then it will be fine. It is an inconvenience but I still like using the tool and still happy with my purchase.

They can be removed and reinstalled, but make sure you have a good quality #3 phillips screwdriver or you will likely strip out the heads with too much in and out.
