Anti-Clamp Opening Tool for Phones and Tablets

Sooo much easier than using a loose suction cup or slowly prying each edge hoping you don't shatter the glass or break something....I used this on my old Note10+ It has never been apart before. I put it under a heat gun for about 25 seconds and the whole back practically fell off using the anti clamp.... Now this is an older phone so the adhesive probably wasn't as strong anymore, but still. When the whole back came off in one tiny twist I was super happy... I shattered the corner of the glass of my S24 Ultra because old suction cup I was using slipped. Definitely worth grabbing...Cheap and works.

IFixit ALWAYS amazes me and this anti-clip opening tool is no exception. Only iFixit would reverse the action of a clamp to pull away instead of push together and the idea (not to mention the tool that embodies it) that made it possible. Think of it as you would your fingers when opening a cookie (without the twisting part) and you have an idea of how this to works. It’s strong, durable, and easy to use. Don't let its compact size fool you, it’s much more capable than it looks. It makes even the most difficult jobs a little easier. Personally, I think it’s great. It does making opening stubborn devices a lot easier and minimizes breakage, too. If you disassemble cell phones or tablets, you want one of these in your toolbox.

It helps open phones with suction as long as the back and front are glass. It has failed on opening a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 because of the back being made of not so suctionable aluminum.

Works ok. I found that for an iPhone with a severely cracked screen, when you place their sticker and use this it tends to pop loose. I haven’t tested on a non-broken screen without tape but will soon as I need to change the battery in my iPhone XS. The mechanism gives great control and they did an interesting design with the quick release. It works. Overall I’m satisfied but it could use a better approach than the tape for smashed screens though those aren’t easy and this did ultimately work it just took repeating several times and care. I liked this over the squeeze clamps because of the mechanical advantage and control with the threaded mechanism, and over a straight suction cup because of control. Phones are delicate so it’s important to be quite gentle with them. Ifixit is a great company so you can generally trust their products though they might not be the cheapest. You get something well thought out and the guides are excellent.

This works great for removing iPhone screens to replace batteries or any other internal components. I’ll never work on another phone without one.

This item was a blessing I could not believe how easy it was to use and how durable it is and the grip works good can remove the screen and back glass with no problems the size was also perfect and the price wasn’t to bad would recommend

Good product

Attempted to use this on a recent repair for my business thinking it would make the process easier, but it did not... The repair was for an iPad 5 Mini, and the clamp almost broke before it even came close to lifting the screen. Honestly kind of mad I spent almost $30 on this thing. For phones, it might be great, I haven't tried it on a phone yet, but I will here soon, as I have an iPhone 13 Pro scheduled to come in for a charger port replacement. Will update review as to how well it opens a phone..... Update after using on a phone: Literally a waste of $30. The suction cup on the back of the phone pops off long before it has enough pressure to start lifting a screen. Absolute rip off of a product. Do not buy this. Just use some microfiber cloth, and some clamps, and a regular suction cup, and don't waste your money....

Great tool superb for phone repairs with great suction on the device

Ottimo!

中古のiPhone13 Proのバッテリー交換に挑戦しました。 互換バッテリー付属の吸盤や1000円くらいの安いスクリーンオープナーでは吸盤の強度不足で開けられませんでしたが、こちらの工具を使うことによって開けることが出来ました。

Compré esta herramienta para desmontar las pantallas de los teléfonos y de las tabletas, y no puedo estar más contento de lo que estoy. La he usado muchas veces y sigue como el primer día, después de meses de uso. Es una herramienta un poco cara, Pero te facilita muchísimo el trabajo y vale hasta el último céntimo

Outil de bonne qualité, permet la dépose des écrans de smartphone sans effort. Attention toutes fois les ventouses ont tendance à glisser.
