What Kind of Tools do you Need for Repairing iPhone

No matter how well you protect your iPhone, it still could be damaged in an unexpected situation. When the screen gets cracked or you drop the phone into water and you may have to replace the volume control or the home button. All these require special tools geared toward smaller pieces, screws and spaces. You may already have these tools around your house; if not, you can buy them at your local hardware store. Of course, you also can order cheap and free shipping iPhone repair kits on TS. These kits include most or all of the tools you’ll ever need to repair your iPhone.
                 

Screwdrivers and Torx Drivers

First of all, you need a screwdriver to take apart your iPhone. And you may need about 4 different types of screwdrivers, depending on the parts you’re replacing. For example, you may need the small Phillips screwdriver to remove the iPhone’s exterior casing. For internal screws, you need a torx driver with both 4- and 6-bit pieces or ends. And it is best to use magnetized screwdrivers and torx drivers, which make removing small screws much easier.

Prying Tools

Then you need prying tools to remove the exterior casing and iPhone glass screen. The most common prying instrument is a safe open tool, which has a handle similar to a screwdriver’s but has a flat head made from plastic. You can get into small cracks and pry apart two pieces with the prying tools. Also guitar picks are a great alternative (preferably unused and unworn) if you can’t find this type of prying tool.

Other Items

Except those things mentioned above, you still need to get a miniature suction cup to pull up the glass screen, and liquid polish and a microfiber cloth to buff the screen. It’s important to wipe down all parts after handling and replacing them.
