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

I’ve used a few different prying tools over the years and this one immediately stands out for control and feel. The blade is thin enough to get into tight seams without feeling flimsy, and the handle gives good grip without being bulky. It’s rigid enough to apply pressure without flexing, which makes a big difference when opening glued electronics or clipped casings. I’ve used it on small electronics and handheld devices and it feels far less sketchy than cheaper plastic tools. Not something you use every day, but if you ever open electronics, this is one of those “buy once, cry never” tools.

Again iFixit come up trumps with an item that does what t is intended to do without fear of breaking (although it could obviously break if too much force is needed but then you would be using the wrong tool for the job!). I have had no problems opening clipped items with this item and if used alongside other plastic picks etc, then you have a tool that should last a lifetime if not lost or used for the wrong job. Handle is fairly comfortable and not had any discomfort when prying products open. If there was a negative it would be that it will scratch surfaces if it slips during use, but that is going to happen with a metal bladed item anyway so if you are concerned about this, then a plastic pry tool would be a better choice (but not going to last as long obviously).

Its ok and does the job but should be a bit cheaper for what it is.

Item was as described by the seller. The order arrived within the estimated delivery date. The product was appropriately packaged to ensure safe delivery through the distribution system. Excellent value for money. Very pleased with the product.

It works for computer case prying...couldn't be happier

Using this for any pesky opening jobs. Even used it to split apart lots of small Lego this weekend.

Excellent little screen removal tool

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.

Das iFixit Jimmy ist ein tolles Werkzeug. Ich nutze es für den Austausch defekter Displays bei Handys und Tablets. Das beste Tool, das ich hierfür gefunden habe. Ich kann es sehr weiterempfehlen. Hervorragende Klinge, liegt ergonomisch und leicht in der Hand (kein Verkrampfen bei längerer Benutzung), lange Lebensdauer (bei fachgerechter Nutzung)! Absolut empfehlenswert von meiner Seite!

The handle makes it more comfortable to use than a normal spudger. The downside is that you may be inclined to use more leverage on the thin metal blade and possibly bend it. It is a good tool to have in your kit.

I wish a tool like this was with the repair kit I ordered first. After failing with opening my iPad and looking for a tool that actually works I found this and yes it worked great.

L’iFixit Jimmy est un petit outil indispensable pour bricoler l’électronique ; il permet notamment de remplacer facilement écrans et coques de smartphones, ou de déclipser le capot d’une montre. La lame ressemble à un couteau, mais elle est en plastique donc on ne peut pas se blesser. Très fine, elle se glisse dans la tranche du smartphone, et permet de désolidariser facilement l’écran de la coque, en exerçant une rotation du poignet. La lame est par ailleurs solide car elle fait corps avec le manche. Ce dernier est un peu petit pour ma main, mais j’arrive à manier l’outil sans difficultés. J’ai acheté l’iFixit Jimmy après avoir cassé la coque de mon Motorola G6. J’ai pu déclipser facilement la partie cassée du smartphone ; en revanche, les résidus de colle m’ont posé problème et j’ai passé du temps à les retirer. Le Jimmy m’a également servi à démonter ma montre connectée Samsung Gear S3 « Classic ». Je possède par ailleurs un tournevis Tri wing Y00, autre outil indispensable pour démonter le matériel électronique. Points positifs : + Lame fine et solide + Pratique + Abordable Points négatifs : - 100% plastique - Manche un peu court En conclusion, l’iFixit Jimmy est un outil pratique et utile ; il fait partie de ma panoplie de bricoleur et je m’en sers pour les travaux de précision.
