Plastic Pry Tool Kit
A set of plastic pry tools in various shapes and sizes. Different profiles fit different gap sizes and angles, making them versatile for separating snap-fit enclosures, prying battery adhesive, and lifting shields.
- Multiple shapes for different prying scenarios
- Non-conductive plastic won't short circuits
- Durable enough for snap-fit plastic enclosures
- Color-coded for quick identification
When to use it
Use on snap-fit plastic enclosures (like chargers and AirPods cases) where picks are too thin and a spudger is too thick.
What it replaces
Guitar picks and spudgers cover most use cases, but dedicated pry tools handle stubborn plastic housings better.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Every tool listed on this site is one we actively use in Object Opened teardowns. We don't list tools we haven't personally tested.
No. Start with a precision screwdriver kit, a spudger, and opening picks. That covers most phone and small device teardowns. Add specialized tools as your projects demand them.
We link to wherever offers the best version of each tool. iFixit specializes in repair tools with excellent quality. Amazon is better for general-purpose items and wider availability.
It depends on the device. Phones and laptops are generally safe if you disconnect the battery first. Power electronics (chargers, power supplies) can retain dangerous voltage in capacitors — always discharge them before touching anything inside. Wear safety glasses when prying open enclosures.
