Fixinus 30 Pieces 4.72" Black Nylon Plastic Spudger Probe Security Opening Pry Bar for iPhone iPad Samsung Cell Phone Laptop PC LCD Screen Disassembly

It’s really nice when the simple things work right. These little plastic spludger sticks are perfect for any task that requires a sharp tip, with some delicateness. It’s not as sharp as a needle in a pin vice, but when your removing wax residue around the back plate of your Les Paul, this guy will work do the job perfectly without scratching the paint. The back end is perfect for prying cases open, again without marring the plastic. And very inexpensive in the sets sold here. Whatever size you were going to get, get then next larger bag - you won’t regret it.

These are absolutely great for gently lifting bezels or covers on laptops, such as the thin bezel around the keyboard, separating the top and bottom of the case after removing screws, etc. They're non-conductive and made of a durable and fairly dense plastic. They're not unbreakable, but neither are they flimsy or easily broken.Having more than one on hand is useful as you can work a pair of them along a seam for gently opening reluctant snap-lock cases.The flat end is the most used in laptop work, but the pointed end is useful for pressing inset hard-reset or media eject buttons (the kinds of things that would otherwise need a straightened paper clip). The pointed end is also good for removing that dropped bit of food stuck in the keyboard (ummmm.......ummmm....a friend told me about this...that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!).Useful, durable, and inexpensive. What's not to like?

(UPDATE 09/2020: I've been using these little spudgers weekly [or more frequently] for over three years now and want to update my original 2017 post)The utilitarian nature of these little spudgers is amazing: I'm an electronics geek. And a rocketry guy. And a gun nut. And a lot of other things. These spudgers help out w/ so many different tasks that I'm amazed I was able to get along w/o them before.Separating single wires from bundles. Prying ICs from breadboard or PCBs. Scraping/cleaning up rocket plugs or adjusting nozzles. Cleaning firearms (pistol rails, FCGs, AR chambers). Scraping caulk/paint/gunk from flat surfaces.Your imagination is the limit to the useful nature of these things.They're a tad short, yep. And that's fine w/ me. I've tried working in tight spots w/ pencil-length spudgers, and it's a pain. These are the perfect length for 99% of almost everything a standard spudger is capable of (If you really need to pry hard, use the proper tool).I've made multiple orders, now, and I'm going to be coming back for a long, long time.

Part of my daily life is fixing laptops. Spudgers are pretty much essential. Compared to a few other brands these are a little softer. The back edge blunted after 2 laptop back covers. A good way to look at it is my harder spudgers are a razor with disposable cartridges. These are the disposable razors. They start nice and sharp but dull out quickly. What I find however is I baby my more expensive spudgers. I don't worry about that with these.I don't use the tip for much, but If you are like me, you cant stand the seals on mice or the groove around the laptop trackpad to be dirty. The tips wear out pretty quickly but do a fine job of getting that hard to reach fuzz in the scroll wheel.I would buy these again and set them out for all the techs, but I would still have some fancy's around for myself too. Oh, and they are about 2 inches short. It makes it hard to get leverage.

They're too small. You get a lot for the money but I'm not sure even that justifies giving it a 4 star rating. They are about 20% shorter in length than the Menda ones and they're also smaller in width and height. It may not sound like much but for me, it results in less torque when using the flat end and less grip and comfort when using it.EDIT: The seller contacted me and offered to refund my money AND to ship out for free 10 spudgers that have the same length as the Menda ones. They also said to keep the 50 pieces I already received. I did not accept as there is no need because I purchased them without considering the product description. Still, this seller should be recognized for their effort to ensure 100% satisfaction.Thank you very much Fixinus!EDIT2: They refunded my money and and are still sending me the bigger spdugers for free! Now I must raise it to a 4 star review for the product. Maybe I was too harsh? Perhaps my hands are not normal sized? This product really is a great value for the money. They are straight and not defective in any way, shape, or form. The product description is there in plain sight for anyone to see before making the purchase. I just didn't read it.Thanks again Fixinus!EDIT3: So I found my self using these sticks again and they are very good value for the money. I got them at $15 bucks for 50 pieces with free shipping. I think they'll last a good long while for me. Giving it a 5 star review for the value proposition.

These spudgers are the good, sturdy ones. Not the cheap, flimsy, snap in half the first time you try to pry something. I've been through hundreds, if not thousands, in my decade of fixing electronics and these are very nice. Also, for those building plastic model kits, these make great parts separators!

Honestly, as long as you know exactly what size these are, there's really not much that can go wrong. Product arrived quickly and as-described. I DO wish that they were about 2 inches longer (where have I heard that?!), but they're still completely functional. I'll say: if you have big hands, maybe look for a slightly larger size. Good product, decent value.

I finally admitted I need more Spudgers than just one or two. 10 Pieces will last me and help me not lose the precious one or two. Ok, these are tough enough to use on computers and even helped me open up a hair dryer. Plastic is flexible and soft enough NOT to scratch devices though some are an engineer's manager's problem. Thanks for the 10 pack!
