Makes a tough job easier

I have done many repairs over the years on my iPads. Removing the screen is the hardest part. If you’re not careful you can crack it or or damage the circuits underneath. Used in conjunction with a heating pad designed for electronics, this clamp makes the screen process very simple and save. Once you warm up the screen area with the pad, the clamp easily attaches to the front and back of the iPad. Turning the screw draws the arms with the attached suction cups apart, and carefully lifts the screen away from the glue strips. Must have even if you repair one iPad.

It works well. But you still need to understand what you are doing.

It works great. But it's not "magic". It is simply a convenient way to apply some tension as you separate the screen and body on a modern phone. This is not meant to "tear off" the screen. I tested this on 2 different phones. One had a satin finish back panel and required a strip of standard plastic packing tape on the back to hold suction. To seperate, use the anti-clamp to apply a SMALL amount of tension to a corner of the phone and gently heat. The corner comes up. Pic it and move on. It still requires patience. You still need to carefully heat the edge(s) of the phone to soften the glue. And you still need to carefully work your way around the entire screen with pics, moving the clamp as you go. BTW, IMO a light duty crafting heat gun works best for this, with or without this clamp.

Handy tool

This is an optional tool, but made the job of opening the iPhone case easier.

Works well. Tape over smashed screen takes repeated effort to keep this from popping loose.

Works ok. I found that for an iPhone with a severely cracked screen, when you place their sticker and use this it tends to pop loose. I haven’t tested on a non-broken screen without tape but will soon as I need to change the battery in my iPhone XS. The mechanism gives great control and they did an interesting design with the quick release. It works. Overall I’m satisfied but it could use a better approach than the tape for smashed screens though those aren’t easy and this did ultimately work it just took repeating several times and care.I liked this over the squeeze clamps because of the mechanical advantage and control with the threaded mechanism, and over a straight suction cup because of control. Phones are delicate so it’s important to be quite gentle with them.Ifixit is a great company so you can generally trust their products though they might not be the cheapest. You get something well thought out and the guides are excellent.

The product is good. But it didn't work the way I hoped. The seller is good and trustworthy.

Didn't work all that great....

Attempted to use this on a recent repair for my business thinking it would make the process easier, but it did not... The repair was for an iPad 5 Mini, and the clamp almost broke before it even came close to lifting the screen. Honestly kind of mad I spent almost $30 on this thing. For phones, it might be great, I haven't tried it on a phone yet, but I will here soon, as I have an iPhone 13 Pro scheduled to come in for a charger port replacement. Will update review as to how well it opens a phone.....Update after using on a phone: Literally a waste of $30. The suction cup on the back of the phone pops off long before it has enough pressure to start lifting a screen. Absolute rip off of a product. Do not buy this. Just use some microfiber cloth, and some clamps, and a regular suction cup, and don't waste your money....
