Plastic Opening Tools

$2.95

Product code: IF145-000-1

Product Overview

Of course it's debatable whether Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were actually the first men to land on the moon. What's not up for debate is whether NASA uses only plastic opening tools to build their spaceships. They do.

Spaceships have to be obscenely streamline in order to power away from the grasping fingers of Earth's gravity. NASA can't risk scratching the paint on one of these badboys and giving Earth something to latch onto as it escapes our atmosphere. That's why they use these special non-scratchy tools exclusively to build these behemoth flying machines.

Apart from building spaceships, these plastic opening tools are useful for opening cases and disconnecting connectors on electronic devices.

NOTE: These tools are made of a soft plastic to prevent scratching your device or spacecraft. This means that repeated use will result in damaged tools.

For case opening, if you do not care about scratches, a metal spudger or a guitar pick may provide better results. Otherwise, try to get the device open in the first few attempts or the tools may be rendered unusable.

My Problem

I have a selection of Apple products and it seem each has at least one crazy type of screw or needs some odd tool. After years fo frustration I ordered a Pro tool set. It's great but I'm still missing the screw driver for the iPhone 4s.

My Fix

The first repair job was to replace an iPhone 3g front glass. The parts from iFixit were perfect and it only took 10 minutes to follow the online instruction and finish the job.

My Advice

If you order the pro tech base tool kit - order the iphone 4s screwdriver because it's not included

My Problem

My rear-camera didn't work and my rear Glass Panel was broken. I wanted both to be okay.

My Fix

With the help of Ifixit tools and guides it was a very simple thing to fix. Within 30 minutes my Iphone was new again.

My Advice

I recommanded Ifixit to several friends.

My Problem

It was cracked when my wife dropped it in the gym.

My Fix

I followed the online repair and at first it seemed great. But the screen went out the second day, however your company was aware that some of the displays did this and sent me a second and it got here almost immediatly. Now it works works great. Will definately do bussiness you ifix it again!

My Advice

If its a first time repair, watch the online guide

My Problem

The Ipod was prviously dropped on a hard serface causing the screen to splinter.

My Fix

The total repair time too about 5 mins. Guides on Ifixit were very insightful and thorough. Hardest part was getting the miniture srews out of the EMI shield and getting the screen tucked in.

My Advice

Watch the screws don't run away. the guide does not show how the new screen tucks inside the side where the display used to be dont panic, it's eay. just play with it.

My Problem

Screen was cracked on the Kindle Fire from getting dropped

My Fix

I pried at the edges with ifixit's plastic opening tools and didn't really budge. After five mins fiddling with it, the tip of the bigger tool cracked.

My Advice

Don't buy it. Find a better quality set. I don't have anything against ifixit but they could sell a bit better quality tools and maybe have a better return plan so I don't have to pay more to return it then what it's worth!

My Problem

The 3DS had some loose wiring that caused it to shutdown randomly

My Fix

I opened the 3DS and reassembled it according to Fixit guide and that fixed the problem. No more shutdowns!

My Advice

iFixit have greate guides to follow!

My Problem

The power button stopped working

My Fix

I got the tools needed way faster than expected from you guys...thanks!

Went 100% perfect with your instructions

My Advice

Take your time and follow directions closely. If you do, no problem at all

My Problem

My Macbook Air lost audio suddenly with out a warning. I called apple for advice, and got hit in the face with a ridiculous repair quote. I decided to do a google search, which led me to your web site.

My Fix

I was worried that this repair would be over my head, but your pictures, and clear instructions made this a walk in the park. It took me 13 minutes to fix my Macbook(I timed my self).

My Advice

Just do it. Save your self the headache of shipping and overpriced repairs from Apple.

My Problem

I tripped in the terminal at Detroit Metro Airport, fell and landed on my Macbook, cracking the LCD screen. Apple wanted $1200 to fix it!?

My Fix

The repair went flawlessly. The instructions are phenominally detailed. The tools I ordered for assembly made the process easier than I expected.

My Advice

The one key is to be VERY organized with the parts you take off. Have a container for each set of screws you take off and keep the containers lined up in the order you took them off.

My Problem

I didn't fix anything. There was nothing to fix. I just got the tools for the day when something breaks on my brand new, one month old, MacBook Air. Just getting ready for the future. I did the same thing with my 2008 aluminum unibody MacBook at the time. And, yes. I did use those tools often for upgrades, etc.

My Fix

Although, these tools would have been very handy the day a few weeks ago when I tore apart my Samsung Notebook to get at its BIOS battery.

My Advice

Be prepared!
