This is perfect for opening pretty much any electronic. I'm upgrading my MSI laptop, and the first time I used a card. The card did a poor job so I bought this jimmy. It does the job well. 10/10. It's not too stiff, & not too bendable either. It's perfect and it's not gonna mess up my computer.

Ive tried so many types, brands and styles of this tool and i always go back to this for my every day use at work because it lasts the longest and doesn't hurt the hand or rish cutting your hand open like some of the others. Worth grabbing one or two to have around!

Love this tool , it’s so handy. Opens boxes , prying things and scratches things off like lottery tickets. I bought more and gave them as gifts.

Good points. Small sized, thin, nice rubberized handle. Fells good to hold, non-sip. Steel blade goes full length of handle. Tried it on a watch to remove the back of the case, worked great.Now for the negative points. No hole in the handle for hanging it (or in my case, a loop of sorts). Blade edge is a bit rough, had to use a fine file to smooth it. Would be nice to have a cap for the blade. Not sure of the type of steel used in it, not described. Will it bend too easily? Or rust? Time will tell.Overall, a good tool for light duty prying, getting an edge open on a case. Will scratch plastic or metal.

This tool has pretty much the perfect combination of flexibility and rigidity to get the job done right. I've opened numerous laptops with this and it's worked perfectly every time

Ive had less expensive prying tools, but they often deform and break first use. This ones been in my care for almost a year now. Well made, fits nice in the hand.

The handle makes it more comfortable to use than a normal spudger. The downside is that you may be inclined to use more leverage on the thin metal blade and possibly bend it. It is a good tool to have in your kit.

I don't normally write reviews but I'm unexpectedly happy with this tool.I've been using spudgers, guitar picks and flathead screwdrivers to open cases for decades, usually damaging the cases I'm opening. I wanted to try something different. There are enough negative or mixed reviews of the Jimmy that I didn't expect much but I decided to try it anyways. I have opened 3 cases that were difficult but possible to open without damaging them. The Jimmy left less to no marks where my previous methods would have damaged at least 2 out of 3 of them and it made the remaining one much easier to open. It's very thin, slightly flexible yet relatively strong business end makes getting into or between tight seams much easier than ever before.Anyone who has used plastic spudgers and guitar picks know that those tools are not durable at all. The Jimmy is much more durable than they are. Although i haven't done any damage to it yet, I don't expect the Jimmy to last forever. The Jimmy is a great value and if I have to buy a replacement once in a while I won't mind given its very reasonable price.

Handy at taking a phone apart. Also very good at levering a battery from case they'll was hard to unstick without it. Fitted nicely in hand when using not to big or cumbersome.

I wish a tool like this was with the repair kit I ordered first. After failing with opening my iPad and looking for a tool that actually works I found this and yes it worked great.
