iFixit Jimmy, Powerful Tool for Prying & Opening Electronic Devices Like Tablets, PCs, laptops, Smartphones, Cameras, TVs and Household appliances

I’ve used a few different prying tools over the years and this one immediately stands out for control and feel. The blade is thin enough to get into tight seams without feeling flimsy, and the handle gives good grip without being bulky. It’s rigid enough to apply pressure without flexing, which makes a big difference when opening glued electronics or clipped casings. I’ve used it on small electronics and handheld devices and it feels far less sketchy than cheaper plastic tools. Not something you use every day, but if you ever open electronics, this is one of those “buy once, cry never” tools.

Ottimo strumento, fatto molto bene e super utile…io lo utilizzo per la riparazione dei Notebook..

The handle makes it more comfortable to use than a normal spudger. The downside is that you may be inclined to use more leverage on the thin metal blade and possibly bend it. It is a good tool to have in your kit.

If you know. You know. You work on electronics? This will make your life easy. No more breaking plastics! Very sturdy yet pliable! A staple in the tool kit! Have used one MANY different devices.

I don't normally write reviews but I'm unexpectedly happy with this tool. I've been using spudgers, guitar picks and flathead screwdrivers to open cases for decades, usually damaging the cases I'm opening. I wanted to try something different. There are enough negative or mixed reviews of the Jimmy that I didn't expect much but I decided to try it anyways. I have opened 3 cases that were difficult but possible to open without damaging them. The Jimmy left less to no marks where my previous methods would have damaged at least 2 out of 3 of them and it made the remaining one much easier to open. It's very thin, slightly flexible yet relatively strong business end makes getting into or between tight seams much easier than ever before. Anyone who has used plastic spudgers and guitar picks know that those tools are not durable at all. The Jimmy is much more durable than they are. Although i haven't done any damage to it yet, I don't expect the Jimmy to last forever. The Jimmy is a great value and if I have to buy a replacement once in a while I won't mind given its very reasonable price.
