This is the only thing I bought after covering Prime Day for 36 hours over four days

We’ve done so much on Prime Day that my head is spinning. But after four days of doing our best to help people save money, the thing I’m most drawn to is a simple tool to fix my biggest mistakes. I bought Vampliers.

If you’re not familiar, Vampliers are Japanese-made pliers designed for one simple task: removing stripped screws. I don’t even remember when I first heard about them, but I already put them on my wish list and thought, “I’m finally going to get one of these.” That time is now: the Vampliers 6.25-inch VT-001 is on sale for $25.58 (about $6 off) Amazon.

Over the years, I’ve left behind dozens of rotting screws for door fasteners, junction boxes, and even under my desk. And now I have a way to fix my mistakes. Maybe it’s the full pot of coffee I’ve been drinking every day since Tuesday, but I’m done with Prime Day and I’m done with the loose ties.
