Jimmy - Ultimate Electronics Prying & Opening Tool

Genuinely the best tool I own. Incredibly versatile and strong

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).

Nice and thin blade for prying open laptops.

I bought the iFixit Jimmy as I wanted to remove the SSD from my laptop. It is really easy to use and feels very durable, and can easily get between gaps in the housing. One thing to note is make sure you don't accidentally scratch the side of your device with it as it's sharp enough to leave a mark. However, I'm very satisfied with it.

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.

Excellent item and quick delivery

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

Gut geeignet zum öffnen von elektronischen Geräten

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.

Works as described. Much stronger than others I tried.

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.
