Opening tool iFixit EU145123-2 6 tools for tablet repair

The iFixit EU145123-2 opening tool set for tablet repair includes six compact tools designed to simplify opening housings and separating adhesive seams. The kit centers on a slim opening pick that measures 38 mm wide, 36 mm deep and 0.5 mm thick, providing a thin, rigid blade for accessing tight gaps around screens, bezels and back covers. The small form factor and lightweight construction make the set easy to manoeuvre during delicate disassembly tasks while minimising the risk of damage to internal components.

Advantages

The design of these opening tools balances rigidity and thinness to slip between panels without flexing excessively. A 0.5 mm thickness gives controlled leverage for prying without exerting concentrated force on fragile parts. The set of six tools offers a variety of shapes and edges to adapt to different seams and angles encountered in tablet models. Compact dimensions allow use in confined areas and improve precision for both DIY hobbyists and technicians.

Suitable for

• Separating display assemblies and glass from frame
• Prying back covers and battery compartments
• Loosening adhesive strips and foam seals
• Accessing internal connectors and small components

Key specifications

• Number of tools: 6
• Primary opening pick dimensions: 38 mm (width) × 36 mm (depth) × 0.5 mm (thickness)
• Material: thin, rigid plastic suitable for non-conductive separation
• Weight: lightweight, suitable for handheld precision work

How to use

Insert the opening pick gently into the seam between the device housing and the screen or back cover, starting at a corner or designated opening point. Apply steady, even pressure and slide the tool along the seam to break adhesive bonds; avoid levering at a single point to reduce stress on glass and plastic parts. Use other shapes from the set to work around curved edges and connectors, switching tools as needed to maintain control. For repair sequences that require connector access, work methodically and keep track of screws and small parts.

Usage recommendations

Use the tools on powered-off devices and work on a static‑safe surface when possible. Combine the opening tools with appropriate heat (where recommended by the device manufacturer) to soften adhesive before prying. Avoid metal tools near fragile circuits; replace any tool that shows signs of damage to prevent scratching or breakage.
