Description: Comprehensive tool kit for opening and repairing tablets and smart phones.
Vendor: MuchBuy via ebay
Shipped From: USA
It was about time I got myself some decent pry tools. The amount of effort required and the resulting extra damage to plastic cases caused by using a piece of cutlery was getting ridiculous. I often have the covers of devices for various reasons and using a knife from the kitchen drawer just isn't right.
I saw this deluxe kit floating around on ebay. The price looked really good and the picture suggested that you get more tools than you would ever need (which turns out to be true).
It seemed a little daft not to buy one..
Delivery took a few weeks as the parcel had to come from the US.
There isn't much to say about the unboxing as there wasn't one.
So here is the contents of the plastic tool pouch....
Tool Kit Contents
- Fine bristle paint brush (dust removal)
- Needle nose Tweezers
- Glass sucker tool (for screen replacement)
- T0.8, T1.2 Torx screwdrivers
- Size 1.2 Philips head screwdriver
- Capacitive screen/Glass separator
- Long edge scraper/Spudger
- Flat plate metal Spudger
- Spade end metal Spudger
- Various sizes pry tools
- IPhone opening key
- Lint free cleaning cloth
Particulally useful tools
This pair of metal spudgers are the most durable and sturdy of all the pry tools in the pack. I don't think I need to use anything else for cover removal than these two really.
This little selection is for changing a broken screen on a tablet or smartphone. The sucker ring and screen separator tools are the most useful when fiddling about with capacitive screens. The little iPhone compartment key is handy as they always seem to get lost? (although nothing to do with screens)
When a metal Spudger is not a option and a softer, more gentle approach is needed then this plastic Spudger does the business. Yeah, it does look like an ice scraper for the car - another use for it maybe?
I think that overall this is a pretty tidy little kit with more than enough bits and pieces to get the job done.
The mixture of plastic and metal pry spudgers is useful. The ability to switch from metal Spudger to plastic can be the difference between puncturing a lithium battery or not. - I don't want a venting battery in the living room.

A great value starter kit for any DIY tablet or smartphone project. A surprising amount of stuff in one small bag!
