When it comes to a jobsite, you never quite know what you’ll come across — no matter what trade you’re in.
From corroded fasteners on outdoor installations to damaged screw heads in tight electrical panels, rusted or stripped screws can quickly turn a straightforward task into a frustrating one.

They slow the job down, damage surrounding components, and often require improvised solutions just to get them moving again. Not to mention — they’re simply a pest to remove.
That’s where Warren & Brown’s Screw Removal Pliers come into their own.
Australian precision meets Japanese excellence
Warren & Brown proudly introduces its range of Multi-Purpose Screw Removal Pliers, developed in collaboration with the renowned Japanese toolmaker Engineer JP.
These specialist pliers combine rugged durability with precision engineering, designed specifically to grip and remove frozen, rusted, or damaged screws that standard pliers simply can’t handle.
Expanding on the range, Warren & Brown has introduced four new additions in early 2026, further strengthening its screw removal and gripping solutions lineup.
This includes the latest VAX, VA, and GTV Screw Removal Pliers, alongside a versatile Slip Joint Pliers option—each designed to meet the evolving demands of professionals on the job.
With even more products set to arrive on Australian shores in the coming months, the range continues to grow, offering greater choice and capability across a variety of applications.
Notably, these innovative tools have also been featured on NHK World Japan, highlighting their global recognition for quality and performance.
Key features
More than just standard pliers, these tools are purpose-built for removing damaged or seized screws.
Their specialised jaw design allows them to grip and turn fasteners that would otherwise require drilling or extraction.
- Dual serrated teeth: A unique combination of vertical and horizontal serrations creates an aggressive yet controlled grip, allowing the pliers to firmly bite into stripped or rounded screw heads without slipping.
- Precision engineering: Slender jaws allow access into confined spaces — ideal for electrical work, automotive applications, or maintenance jobs where clearance is limited.
- Superior grip and efficiency: Designed to maximise friction and minimise slippage, these pliers give users the confidence to remove even the most stubborn screws quickly and efficiently.
- Compact and practical: Lightweight and compact with integrated strap holes, these pliers are easy to carry and keep within reach when working on site.
- Ergonomic comfort: Thermoplastic elastomer cushion grips provide a comfortable and secure hold, reducing hand fatigue during extended use.
- Built for durability: Oil-resistant materials and robust construction ensure these pliers perform reliably across a wide range of demanding environments.
- Made in Japan: Manufactured in Japan to exacting standards, delivering the precision and reliability professionals expect from world-class toolmaking.
A legacy of innovation
Warren & Brown’s Screw Removal Pliers continue a legacy of engineering excellence that dates back to 1921.
The company has long been recognised for innovation in professional tools, including the 1948 invention of the patented deflecting beam torque wrench — a design still trusted by industries worldwide today.
