iFixit Jimmy - Ultimate Electronics Prying & Opening Tool

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.

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

This is a useful tool to have in your kit. It can be used to pry open tablets and smartphones. Some laptops and laptop displays could be opened with this too, but be aware that this is not the strongest tool. It's better suited to smaller electronics.

Great product good value great for prying open electronics never had any issues with it would recommend

That's working perfect, thank you

Brilliant bit o kit.

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).

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.

Ottimo strumento, fatto molto bene e super utile…io lo utilizzo per la riparazione dei Notebook..

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.

If you know. You know. You work on electronics? This will make your life easy. No more breaking plastics! Very sturdy yet pliable! A staple in the tool kit! Have used one MANY different devices.

I don't normally write reviews but I'm unexpectedly happy with this tool. I've been using spudgers, guitar picks and flathead screwdrivers to open cases for decades, usually damaging the cases I'm opening. I wanted to try something different. There are enough negative or mixed reviews of the Jimmy that I didn't expect much but I decided to try it anyways. I have opened 3 cases that were difficult but possible to open without damaging them. The Jimmy left less to no marks where my previous methods would have damaged at least 2 out of 3 of them and it made the remaining one much easier to open. It's very thin, slightly flexible yet relatively strong business end makes getting into or between tight seams much easier than ever before. Anyone who has used plastic spudgers and guitar picks know that those tools are not durable at all. The Jimmy is much more durable than they are. Although i haven't done any damage to it yet, I don't expect the Jimmy to last forever. The Jimmy is a great value and if I have to buy a replacement once in a while I won't mind given its very reasonable price.
