As an Atlantis technician with over 20 years of experience, I know that heat and thickness are the two most critical factors in opening a device. We currated these specific tools because they withstand the constant thermal cycling from our workshop heat plates without losing their tempered edge. Whether you are a hobbyist or a pro, these tools ensure you meet the high standard of care your electronics deserve. Explore more of our professional gear in the repair tools category.

Technical details for precision work:

• Material: High-tensile flexible spring steel alloy.
• Thickness: Ultra-thin 0.1mm profile for zero-gap entry.
• Blade Width: Optimized for standard smartphone perimeters.
• Handle: Ergonomic anti-slip plastic grip for stable prying.
• Quantity: Pack of 5 identical high-performance tools.

Follow the Atlantis technician method for safe screen separation:

1. Heat Plate Calibration: Set your heat plate to 70°C-80°C and place the device face down for 3-5 minutes.
2. Suction Assist: Use a suction cup to create a microscopic gap between the frame and glass.
3. Insertion: Slide the 0.1mm flexible blade into the gap. The steel is thin enough to bypass even the tightest factory seals.
4. Glue Slicing: Move the tool smoothly around the edge. If resistance increases, return the device to the heat plate briefly.
5. Safety Note: Do not insert the tool more than 2-3mm to avoid damaging internal OLED or Digitizer ribbons.

Safe Delivery: We ship our tools in reinforced packaging to ensure they arrive perfectly flat. A bent blade is a useless blade.

Free UK Shipping: Benefit from Free Royal Mail delivery when you choose the Drop & Collect option at checkout.

Returns: If these tools don't meet your workshop standards, we offer a straightforward return policy.

Are these safer than a guitar pick? Yes. A guitar pick is thick and made of soft plastic which can tear and get stuck. These 0.1mm steel blades are thinner and allow for a cleaner cut through adhesive.

Should I use a heat plate or heat gun? An Atlantis technician always recommends a heat plate for screen removals. It provides uniform heat across the whole screen, which prevents local overheating and protects the LCD from damage.

Are they anti-static? While the handles provide some insulation, the blades are steel. Use caution around high-voltage internal components.

Do they work on iPads? Yes, they are exceptional for iPads, as they can slice through the thick perimeter adhesive without needing to pry hard against the digitizer.

What temperature should a heat plate be for phone repair? Most professionals set their heat plate to 80°C. This is hot enough to soften glue but safe enough for the battery and screen if not left on too long.

Can I reuse these opening tools? Yes. Unlike plastic tools that wear down after one use, these steel blades are highly durable and can be used for dozens of repairs.
