Opening tool iFixit EU145123-2

The iFixit EU145123-2 opening tool set is a compact kit designed to assist with safe and controlled disassembly of tablets and other slim electronic devices. The set contains six essential tools including a thin opening pick with a working width of 38 mm, overall depth of 36 mm and a height of 0.5 mm, intended to reach narrow seams and separate adhesive without damaging housings or internal components. The tools are made for repeatable use during repair, maintenance, and component replacement tasks.

Advantages

The slim profile and precise dimensions enable access to tight gaps commonly found in modern tablets and small electronics. The included opening pick is thin enough to slip under display bezels and adhesive layers while providing sufficient rigidity to avoid bending during normal use. The compact set is easy to handle and store, offering a balance between flexibility and control for both delicate and routine opening operations.

Suitable for

• Separating tablet displays and bezels
• Opening smartphones and other handheld devices with adhesive seams
• Accessing internal components for battery or part replacement
• Electronics hobbyist and DIY repair projects

Key specifications

• Number of tools in set: 6
• Opening pick width: 38 mm
• Tool depth: 36 mm
• Pick thickness: 0.5 mm
• Application: opening and separating thin adhesive seams and bezels

How to use

Use the thin opening pick to gently insert between the device housing and the display or back cover at a corner or along an edge. Apply slow, steady lateral pressure to work the pick along the seam, progressively releasing adhesive without forcing the tool. Alternate with other tools in the set when additional leverage or a wider separation point is required. Keep the pick parallel to the surface to minimize risk of scratching internal components and avoid angled force that could warp or chip fragile parts.

Usage recommendations

For safe results, power down the device and disconnect any batteries where possible before beginning disassembly. When working with glass displays or devices with strong adhesive, consider using a heat source to soften adhesive first and work in small increments to avoid damage. Store the tools in a dry place and inspect the pick for wear before use; replace if edges become deformed.
