Abstract: A tool for removing embedded screws and the like, having a pair of pivotally connected handles with screw removing heads at the ends thereof. The screw removing heads each have matching opposed clinching edges, including a pair of laterally spaced parallel clinching edges and a clinching edge at the bottom of each head which is perpendicular to the parallel edges and disposed between them. The parallel edges dig into the periphery of the screw head to allow torque to be applied to the screw as the handles are turned by a user, while the perpendicular clinching edges engage the underside of the head of an embedded screw to oppose slipping movement of the tool off the screw head and apply upward force thereto.
