Koara Upgrated to Version 2.0 - Headphone Jack Removal Tool - Headphone Plug Extraction Tool, Tubes of Different Thickness, Jack Remover

Not as good as i hoped

The entire tip of my headphones jack broke off inside my phone. I tried many different suggestions for DIY removal of the jack, but nothing I tried could remove the stuck jack Knowing this tool may not work, I decided to buy it & give it a shot anyway seeing that some reviewers had been successful. I also bought a small hammer after reading other reviewers say a small hammer has just enough weight to push the tube in deep enough without destroying it. I tried gently hammering in the short tube first & couldn't seem to get a good grip to squeeze the tube enough to grab onto the jack to pull it out. I tried inserting it several times before finally deciding to use small pliers to get a better grip to pull it out. Bad idea, I ended up crushing the top portion of the tube & had a very difficult time removing it, even with the pliers! When I finally did manage to yank the tube out, it came out empty, the jack was still stuck inside my phone. I moved onto using the long tube, again gently hammering it in. Determined to use my fingers to pull so I wouldn't crush the second tube, I repeated hammering, twisting, & pulling the tube with my fingers several times. Finally, a small piece of the jack broke off inside the tube & I pulled it out. I repeated this process a few more times & was able to pull out a second larger piece of the jack. There was still a large piece of the jack wedged inside & I tried several more times to remove it without success. If you look at the attached picture, the largest piece of the jack with the skinny top is what was left inside. I managed to pull it up slightly, & at this point I tried using tweezers to pull it all the way out. It took a few tries, but eventually I was able to get a good grip with the tweezers & out came the last larger piece of the jack! Patience, repetition, gentleness, & ingenuity are definitely required to make this tool work, but it DOES WORK!

Headphone jack broke inside my iPad’s port. I harbored hope that there was a way to shimmy either the short or long tubes into the headphone port. Don’t believe the video. Pushing the tube against a book isn’t enough. I tried to lightly hammer the short tube in with the handle of a screwdriver. The edges on both ends of the short tube ended up warping. So, second and last chance with the longer tube. I was met with enough resistance that I literally took a hammer to the tube. I’d say the pressure I tried to apply was heavier than tapping, but way lighter than driving nails in. Any harder, I think I feel like I would’ve damaged my iPad. The tube eventually felt jammed in enough, and I then used pliers to pull it out. Sadly, plug was still stuck. Turns out that the tube wasn’t deep enough and the tube was crushed. So, I’m $10 down with a problem to still fix, and the port on my iPad looks a little beaten up. I like DIY projects and knew I was gambling on something that looked too easy. Maybe you all can learn from my experience and save your money for more expert repair.

Didn't work, not enough grip or strength to pull out the snapped off headphone plug :(

it doesnot work as described...rather junkish..save you money
