Choose tools that fit the fasteners and adhesives without turning a controlled repair into accidental damage.

Core ideas

  • Use model-appropriate drivers, plastic picks, suction tools, blunt tweezers, organised screw storage and eye protection.
  • Control static electricity, dust and loose metal objects; never use a metal blade near an exposed battery.
  • Use measured, even heat only when the manufacturer guide requires adhesive softening.

Decision rule

If a tool must be forced, it is probably the wrong tool, the wrong angle or the wrong step.
