After covering Prime Day for 36 hours over four days, this is the one thing I bought
在连续四天报道了 36 小时的 Prime Day 后，这是我唯一购买的东西
I’ve been wanting Vampliers for a while anyway. Because I keep screwing up. 其实我一直都想买一把 Vampliers（吸血鬼钳）。因为我总是把螺丝拧坏。
We’ve covered so many deals during Prime Day that my head is spinning. But after four days of doing our damndest to try and help folks save money, the thing I’m most hyped for is a simple tool for fixing my most egregious mistakes. I bought a pair of Vampliers. 在 Prime Day 期间，我们报道了太多的优惠活动，搞得我头晕眼花。但在竭尽全力帮助大家省钱的这四天过后，我最兴奋的收获其实是一个能修复我那些严重失误的简单工具。我买了一把 Vampliers。
If you’re unfamiliar, Vampliers are Japanese-made pliers designed for one simple task: removing stripped screws. I don’t even remember when I first heard of them, but I threw one on my wishlist long ago and thought, “I should get one of these eventually.” That time is now: the standard 6.25-inch VT-001 Vampliers is on sale for $25.58 (about $6 off) at Amazon. 如果你不熟悉的话，Vampliers 是一种日本制造的钳子，专为一项简单的任务而设计：拆卸滑丝的螺丝。我甚至不记得自己是什么时候第一次听说它们的，但我很久以前就把它们放进了愿望清单，心想：“我迟早得买一把。”现在时机到了：标准的 6.25 英寸 VT-001 Vampliers 正在亚马逊上打折，售价为 25.58 美元（优惠约 6 美元）。
I recommended a smaller pair of Vampliers in our roundup of Prime Day deals under $25. I knew from people I trust how handy these things are. I even read Chris Person’s excellent ode to his Engineer “Neji-Saurus” pliers, which are the same thing with a green handle. (Engineer makes both sets of pliers; Vampire Tools distributes rebranded Engineer tools in the US.) 我在我们整理的“25 美元以下 Prime Day 优惠”清单中推荐过一款较小的 Vampliers。我从我信任的人那里得知这些工具非常实用。我甚至读过 Chris Person 为他的 Engineer “Neji-Saurus” 钳子写的精彩赞歌，那其实就是换了绿色手柄的同款产品。（Engineer 生产这两种钳子；Vampire Tools 则负责在美国分销贴牌后的 Engineer 工具。）
Over the years, I’ve 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’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 stripped screws. 多年来，我已经在门框、接线盒甚至书桌下留下了太多滑丝的螺丝。现在，我终于有了纠正错误的方法。也许是因为我从周二开始每天都喝下一整壶咖啡的缘故，但我已经受够了 Prime Day，也受够了那些滑丝的螺丝。
