It is reusable, non-toxic, and food safe.


Note: Avoid overheating your iOpener by following the handy microwave heating user guide PDF attached under the Product Guides and Documents
section of this page. Be sure to check your repair to see if other tools are also needed for your specific tech device.

Very useful
The box is horrible, it rips easily and it’s hard to keep the kit right-side up, but other than that the tools are super helpful and well made. I especially love the heat tool.

Just the right tools
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.

Heat pad not the greatest. other tools good
Had bought this for use in replacing the glass/screen on an iPad Air 2. Had bought it mainly for the heat pad, as I thought that would be safer than using my Ryobi heat gun. I microwaved the pad as directed. I found though that it just did not do a good enough job of heating the adhesive enough to facilitate removal. I ended up using my Ryobi heat gun anyways – it did the trick nicely.With that being said, the other implements in the kit were helpful. Used the battery remover/blocker, multiple picks, and the tweezers, which actually were one of the best tools. The magnetic tip screwdriver (two different magnetic bits) was also excellent. The paperboard tray has multiple segments built into it to place the screws/parts as you remove them – this was also well thought out.If I had used the pad more and found it to transmit heat better, I would have given this 5 stars. Maybe I was just not patient enough, but to me the heat gun was the way to go. Still was a worthwhile purchase.

Love it
Yes. Just yes. This is a must have for any electronic technician. Takes the risk of melting plastic with the heat gun away. 30 seconds in the microwave and you got 10 minutes of evenly distributed heat.

worked like a charm, and very convienient

Makes opening sealed devices easier
I think the iFixit iOpener is a handy tool for anyone who needs to open up electronic devices, particularly those with adhesive seals that are difficult to remove. The heat pad is easy to use and heats up in 30 seconds using my microwave, it makes opening these devices easy during my repairs. It’s just the right size for most electronic devices, so you don’t have to worry about heating up the wrong part of the device or overheating it. Additionally, the pad is reusable, so you can use it again and again without having to replace it. Another great thing about the iOpener is that it’s non-toxic and doesn’t have any weird smells, unlike some other heat pads selling on the market. So if you’re sensitive to those kinds of things, you won’t have to worry about any side effects from using this. I would highly recommend this to anyone who does a lot of electronic repairs, particularly with tablets, phones, and laptops. It’s a handy tool for me to have, and it saves me a lot of time and frustration when it comes to opening up these devices.

Nice tools
The tools are a good quality. The heat thing wasnât very useful. I heated it up a few times and I ended up using a heat gun for my watch. Tools were a good size and definitely a good value for money. I can use them if I have to repair any other device.

Great Customer Service
Good tools instead of cheap one time use tools in most battery kits (though some of those are better than others.)My kit was missing the two bits for the driver and support was excellent and sent them out right away too me.

Set volstaat voor vervangen rug en of scherm gsm. Hotbag verwarmen in heet water geniet de voorkeur.

This comes with almost everything you’d needed to take apart a modern smartphone. Some of the plastic tools and levers proved insufficient. I was able to remove the external cover but the battery was a challenge more of the credit card sized plastic would have helped or something more rigid. There are metal tools for this bit it goes without saying to be careful around the battery. I ended up replacing the battery as a precaution as I wasn’t sure if I’d damaged it. To be fair this kit is aimed at screens and previous devices I’ve repaired have not had such a difficult to remove battery.The kit worked very well on just about everything else internally. I think it is good value for money… you should get at least one repair out of it but you might need to replace the plastic levers. I think this would work better on more conventional devices, mid to low range smartphones. Flagship devices tend to be more complicated. Like my phone…Even then this kit and the replacement screen assembly I ordered and battery I spent less than a professional phone repair. And that’s with original official parts.I would recommend that you read the repair guide for your device first. I think this will work for most devices but not all. There will be odd tool that they sell that you might benefit from.
