But after four days of doing our damndest to try and help folks save money, the thing I\u2019m most hyped for is a simple tool for fixing my most egregious mistakes. I bought a pair of Vampliers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">If you\u2019re unfamiliar, Vampliers are Japanese-made pliers designed for one simple task: removing stripped screws. I don\u2019t even remember when I first heard of them, but I threw one on my wishlist long ago and thought, \u201cI should get one of these eventually.\u201d That time is now: the standard 6.25-inch VT-001 Vampliers is on sale for $25.58 (about $6 off) at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/VAMPLIERS-Extractor-Non-Slip-Multipurpose-Fasteners\/dp\/B006YJKAPQ?tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _18mzr4ba _19wv7tc1\">Over the years, I\u2019ve abandoned far too many stripped screws in door jambs, junction boxes, and even under my desk. And now I finally have a means to correct my mistakes. Maybe it\u2019s the full pot of coffee I\u2019ve been drinking every day since Tuesday, but I\u2019m done with Prime Day and I\u2019m done with stripped screws.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We\u2019ve covered so many deals during Prime Day that my head is spinning.
