Opening tool iFixit EU145336-1

The iFixit Opening tool EU145336-1 is a slim metal prying tool designed to access tight gaps in modern electronics. The tool includes a fine 0.2 mm thick spring steel blade with a tapered smart tip and an ergonomic, non-slip handle. The package also contains a plastic card to assist with safe device opening and reduce the risk of damage.

Advantages

The thin 0.2 mm spring steel blade easily slides into narrow seams and provides controlled leverage for separating components. The smart tip design improves precision when working around connectors and fragile parts. The handle’s no-slip surface enhances grip and control during delicate operations, while the included plastic card offers a gentler alternative for areas where metal tools might scratch or damage surfaces.

Suitable for

• Opening smartphones and tablets
• Separating display assemblies and frames
• Working around connectors and small internal components
• General electronic device disassembly where a thin metal prying tool is needed

Key specifications

• Brand: iFixit
• Model / MPN: W125828755 (EU145336-1)
• Blade thickness: 0.2 mm
• Blade material: spring steel

How to use

Insert the thin spring steel blade gently into the gap between the device housing and panel, working along the seam with controlled, even pressure to gradually release clips or adhesive. Use the smart tip for precise separation near connectors, and switch to the plastic card when you reach areas where a metal blade could scratch or damage components. Keep movements slow and deliberate to avoid slipping or prying at an angle that could harm the device.

Usage recommendations

Exercise caution when using the metal blade; its strength and thin profile can scratch or otherwise damage delicate components. For safer opening of sensitive areas, use the included plastic card or other non-metallic tools such as spudgers or plastic opening tools.
