iOpener - Heat Pad Adhesive Opening Tool for Tablet, Phone, Laptop Repair

Wow the packaging is superb, I'm getting a second set of goodies for a excellent price, can use the squeegee card to clean CC machines amongst everything else

This works so amazingly well came with every thing you need to do repairs on electronicss makes the ease of installation so much easier. It comes with my favorite set of magnetic screw drivers. I love how durable and comfortable they are everything fits together

Great kit for cellphones repair.

I bought the iOpener kit in hopes that it would finally break through that pesky adhesive preventing me from replacing my Surface Book 2 base battery and needless to say; it worked, but I also can't say it's the end all be all for adhesive removal on hostilely engineered devices. The iOpener is a liquid filled bag that you microwave for 30 seconds at a time and use it's retained heat to soften adhesive in a more controlled manner than a heat gun. While a heat gun is certainly faster than the iOpener at distributing heat, it's very easy to overdo it and potentially damage something. Not the case with the iOpener, which doesn't get any more hot than you need and concentrates it's heat distribution evenly along one area. It definitely does what it's intended to. That said, the iOpener is really only as effective as the tools you pair it with and depending on the job, that can either be a cakewalk or an absolute headache. Unfortunately in the case of my Surface Book 2 job, it was the latter in large part to the additional tools that came with the kit. While there isn't anything inherently wrong with them, none of the tools are well suited to penetrating sunken and extremely tight gaps such as those on the Surface Book base. I ended up using two double edge razor blades since they were the the only things I presently had that could fit in the gaps and leverage them open enough to fit the picks and opening tool in. Even then, the tools I did use seem expendable and were pretty tore up after the job. I probably won't be using them again for other work. In conclusion, I would just get the iOpener itself and put the few bucks you save towards tools you know you'll actually need for your job. It's certainly not terrible value if you know you'll fully utilize what's in the kit, but for one and done type jobs, you're probably better off with the iOpener itself. It's worth a look.

Bought for the IOpener to fix a friend's phone and worked flawlessly. Was a nice addition to my tech tools. Would highly recommend to the fixers and tinker. We'll worth the money. Very pleased.

Great customer service. Missing items were replaced so quickly. Thank you sooo much ifixit!

The tools are all good quality and I use them in my kit except for the heating pad. I find that it doesn't retain heat well and doesn't direct it to where it needs to go. Personaly I am skilled enough to use a hot air station to do the same job and not burn what it is I'm trying to lift. The heating pad seams to lose one side and I can get it up but then I have to reheat it place it on the next section wait and then pull it up. With a hot air station I can just circle the entire aria heating it all at once removing it in one go at a quicker speed.

The last time I had tried to fix a mobile device screen it didn't go so well because of the adhesive on the screen so I was worried about trying to fix my tablet on my own. Apple refused to do a screen replacement on my old iPad and wanted to charge basically full price to just replace it, and every repair shop was out of my budget so I decided to take matters into my own hands. I am very glad I chose this set of tools to get the job done! The heater bag is amazing! It made taking of the screen mostly painless, until the very end where I had to take off the part of my screen that was shattered but that was more on me. All the tools worked as intended and after some work and a lot of patience I was able to replace my iPad screen on my own without having to pay hundreds of dollars! Now I should mention I am no stranger to fiddling with devices, mostly computers and a phone here and there, I had a clear understanding of what I needed to do coming into this project and these set of tools helped me get the job done. Do your proper research on how to disassemble your device and see if these tools are the right ones you need. For me they were and I was very satisfied with the outcome.

Outils utiles et plastique de bonne qualité. Une petite trousse serait bienvenue

Perfect, the st was all i missed

一度使えば良い道具だけど、有って良かった。

Well, iFixIt have done it again, this is an AWESOME bit of kit, just everything works so well, the cost is prefect, also, I had a issue where the iopener leaked, iFixit replaced it without any fuss at all, just can not fault them. The kit is so easy to use, the added storage space for the screws and bits is amazing, the drivers stay in place brilliantlly and the magnet closing holds it all together great.

Buen Producto,
