Jiří Filip iFixit Prying and Opening Tool Assortment
When you jump into repairing an iPhone, you must first disassemble it - without this step, you won't be able to repair anything at all. Disassembly takes place by peeling off the display from the body of the device, which is then disconnected from the motherboard. But removing the display from the frame is definitely not an easy step, at least not for beginners. In order to do this, it is necessary to have at least basic tools for prying and opening. One such set of tools that can make the whole process immensely easier is offered by iFixit. This is a Prying and Opening Tool Assortment set and includes a classic spunger, a halberd spunger, a plastic crowbar, two plastic cards and six opening picks.

iFixit Precision Tweezers Set
If you want the giftee to succeed in repairing iPhones at home, tweezers are definitely a must. These tweezers should ideally have different shapes, as different situations call for different tweezers. Classic sharp tweezers, classic tweezers and bent sharp tweezers are the most used in phone repairs. Thanks to the tweezers, it is possible to easily lift, hold, pull out, tear or even scrape off the old adhesive from the phone frame. In addition, tweezers are never enough, as it often happens that they are somehow bent during repairs. If the tweezers are bent, they will never be the same again and will not perform their function well. A set of three basic tweezers is offered by iFixit.

iFixit Magnetic Project Mat
Even if you only do a basic service, i.e. replacing the battery or display, depending on the device, you will be working with several screws. In addition to the fact that there are often three different types of screws inside iPhones, they are also of different lengths. For this reason, it is absolutely essential that the repairman in question has an overview of each screw, and that he is able to accurately determine in retrospect where the pulled screw belongs. If, for example, a longer screw were to be screwed in, it could happen that some component, such as the motherboard, could be damaged. The iFixit Magnetic Project Mat can help with the organization of screws and other parts, i.e. a magnetic mat on which you can also write notes.

iFixit iOpener Kit
In one of the above Christmas gift ideas for enthusiastic repairmen, we looked together at the basic opening and prying kit. Even though this set will be sufficient in most cases, in certain cases you will not be able to unstick the device other than by heating it. Some individuals use, for example, a hair dryer or a heat gun for heating, but this is definitely not an ideal procedure, as you can destroy the device with high heat. Exactly for these types of repairs, iFixit has prepared a special iOpener Kit, in which, in addition to the basic opening tool, there is an iOpener, i.e. a special tool that is heated and then placed on the desired place to be heated. Heat is often your friend when repairing smartphones, and the iOpener Kit will definitely be appreciated by every repairman.
