Unlocking the Secrets of iPhone Repair: Essential Tools You Need to Know

When repairing iPhones, you can't just reach for your traditional toolbox and pull out a hammer and screwdriver. Any repairs listed above require professional tools made specifically for phone repair. They're smaller and more delicate, providing the necessary control needed for this work.
Here are some of the most common iPhone repair tools Phonefix listed for you:

Screwdrivers: Different types of Apple products may require different types of screwdrivers to gain access to the device's interior. Screwdrivers for specific iPhone models fit their screws while also being slim enough for the detail-oriented handling needed for small-scale repairs.

Pentalobe Screwdriver is a unique five-pointed screw system that's used specifically for Apple's proprietary pentalobe screws. Pentalobe screws and screwdrivers come in various sizes depending on the device (e.g., a Macbook versus an iPhone). They're needed to get into the devices.


Screen Opening Tool:

1.Suction Cup Tool: This tool is used to gently open iPhone screens and can be used to repair many Apple devices, from the iPod Touch to the iPhone and iPad. It's used when you need to replace or disassemble the LCD screen. It can also be used to access the battery and other interior components of the phone.

2.Spudger Tool: A spudger is a type of pry opening tool. The slim stick has an end like a flat-head screwdriver and is used for gently prying apart pressure-fit plastic parts without damaging them. The flat end of the tool can also be used to release or loosen other components inside of iPhone (e.g. replace the battery).
Pry tool: This is a type of pry tool uniquely suited to removing the battery from the phone. It's a must if you're doing a battery replacement or repair. The tool allows you to remove the battery without touching it with your hands, which can cause damage due to the natural oils on your fingers.

3.Plastic Cards: If you've ever used a credit card or ID card to try to pry something open, you already get the concept behind this tool. These ultra-thin plastic cards are ideal for sliding between iPhone parts to pry them apart gently. They can also be used for scraping tasks, such as applying adhesive from a glue gun to a screen to fix it.

Tweezers: Tweezers can also be used as pry opening tools, gently pulling apart iPhone components to allow a technician to access parts that need replacing or fixing. Tweezers can also be used to gently manage parts without touching them with your fingers, helping to protect them against destructive finger oils.
Anti-Static Mat: Static can interfere with iPhone repairs, causing parts to "stick" together and increasing the likelihood that they'll fall or get lost. It can also damage electrical components. Most iPhone repair professionals do their work on an anti-static mat. You simply lay it out on the table and it serves as a static-free workspace.

Phonefix has plenty of smart phone repair toolkits that include picks, prying spudgers, screen removal suction cup, a jimmy, opening tools, tweezers, anti-static wristband, and a bit driver set, etc. All the tools are safely contained in a sturdy case with a foam interior to prevent damage and loss. The large tool kit can be used not only for fixing Android phones and iPhones, but also tablets, laptops, and desktop computers!
