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

Handy at taking a phone apart. Also very good at levering a battery from case they'll was hard to unstick without it. Fitted nicely in hand when using not to big or cumbersome.

This is an extremely useful tool for helping to ease open those electronic devices that clip together so cleverly - but cannot easily be opened, if at all, using screwdrivers - and you will almost inevitably cause damage, breakage, or destruction, if you use them.Be aware that the blade on this tool is NOT a rigid piece of metal, but a thin, flexible metal blade that can slip between the various slots and tabs etc of the usual plastic cases enclosing mobile phones, remote controls, and other similar devices.This tool will not be any use for opening paint tins, oysters, etc, but is excellent when used as it is intended

Works well

The handle really lets you put some force into it without ruining your hands and the blade hasn't broken, turned or bent yet. When i need to open up electronics and other clipped cases its the tool i reach for.

Good quality

Useful tool when you need to apply accurate leverage via a thin (but not sharp) blade safely when opening some electrical devices.

Great for prying things open

The iFixit Jimmy has been a helpful addition to my toolkit, especially for working on delicate electronics like phones and laptops. Its slim, angled blade slides easily between seams, allowing me to pop open cases without damaging the components or the device’s casing. The stainless steel blade is thin yet sturdy, which gives it the flexibility needed for tight spots but enough durability to withstand repeated use.However, I have a couple of reservations. First, the metal blade can still scratch softer plastics if you’re not very careful, so it's important to use a light touch. Additionally, the grip could be a bit more ergonomic; after prolonged use, it starts to feel slightly uncomfortable, especially if you’re working on a tricky device. A rubberized or textured handle would improve control and reduce hand strain.Overall, the iFixit Jimmy is a reliable, well-made tool for electronics repair. It works well for most prying tasks, but take care on delicate plastics and plan for a break if you’re doing extended work.Would have been 5 stars BUT as a note I would suggest a name change of this item, in the UK this name and description reminds us of a very unsavoury TV presenter.
