iFixit Jimmy - Ultimate Electronics Prying & Opening Tool

This is perfect for opening pretty much any electronic. I'm upgrading my MSI laptop, and the first time I used a card. The card did a poor job so I bought this jimmy. It does the job well. 10/10. It's not too stiff, & not too bendable either. It's perfect and it's not gonna mess up my computer.

The blade is very thin and flexible. The handle has a good grip to it.

Good product!

Works really well to fix screens and strength is good to pry open stubborn parts. simple to use and decently priced.

Be careful, I cut my thumb in several places, not knowing it, you don’t feel it blade is thin, by stupidly placing my thumb on the back as a brace on the blade. Thumb, GPS coated in blood.Why would you do this, thick stubborn plastic that refuses to budge on the GPS, and it’s some what natural, especially when you tunnel vision of the seams, wondering where you need to go, trying to figure out exactly where you need to work on. You get lost in the moment. I would suggest gloves.That said, keep all your fingers on the plastic, I was finally able to open a Garmin GPS. It’s has thick plastic and just too many of those plastic catches you have to pry open. Watching YouTube is so, so easy. Not so in reality.I couldn’t get any of those plastic pry tools original in, this device opened up the seams enough to cramp in a cut up credit card, then the plastic pry tools, back to this tool along the seam, repeating on all 4 sides.So, if you can just use this tool only to open devices, you have my envy, those YouTube videos are amazing. My guess is especially a Garmin GPS, it’s been opened many times, weakening the catches.To repeat myself...It’s thin, not exactly sharp, seems strong, but thin enough to cut you, so no touching the metal, use it to get a seam open, wedge it, use plastic pry tools, repeat.I do think it is slightly overpriced. Impossible to find local.Ranting now about products that seem designed to keep the owner from making simple repairs.The user experience....It took me an hour to get that Garmin open, over two days, somethings it’s best to walk away from it, it had four screws and then when you add in all those little thick strong tabs it’s absolutely obscene that manufacturers produce something like this. Four corners screws and then maybe a locking tab contact on each side in the middle would’ve sufficed and made replacement of a ratty manufacturers battery a lot easier.With all the plying it didn’t scar or scratched the GPS that I can tell, or would bother me.Who puts a 550 mah battery in something like a GPS, it would only run, if you were lucky, about 5 minutes, the battery taped in, not holding, loose inside.Replaced it with a 1,100 mah. I have no idea why the original battery was so bad, but the new one seems to last at least 30 minutes plus.Telling me something about the original battery?

This tool is simply a very thin piece of steel (about 1/64" thick) with a handle. It's a little bit like a (very dull) knife except that the blade is both very strong and very flexible. This makes it an ideal tool for spreading apart things that are very close together. This could involve opening boxes, opening cases of cell phones and other electronic devices, etc. but it has many other possible applications. It works really well for lifting off adhesive labels and scraping off gummy residue left behind by tape. It also would work really well as a putty knife for smaller applications and smoothing quick patches and probably even in the kitchen for things like cake decorating. Given the low price it's the kind of tool you might want to have several of spread around so they are easy to find when needed :)

This prying tool has saved me so much hassle! I've used it on controllers, keyboards and phones and it hasn't left a single scuff on them! I definitely recommend this over the stupid triangle shaped pry tools. It's simple yet efficient

I have an ifixit kit. Not the big one but a mid range one. It doesnt come with this tool. Ive collected pry tools over the years from various cellphone display install kits. Tou know the ones the free tools they give you which are just good enough to do the job once or twice. Well this thing is 10x better than those ones. Good grip, strong steel, a real workhorse for your repair bench. If you are in the market for an ifixit repair kit then go for the one with this tool included. Otherwise you pay more to buy it by itself like i did here with this one. But if you already have a good kit and are in need of a good pry tool then you cant go wrong with this one. Buy nice or buy twice.
