How to choose opening tools

  • Opening a screen: heat the edges, lift with a suction cup or screen opener, then slide thin plastic picks around the edge.

  • Batteries and glue: use plastic scrapers to avoid puncturing batteries.

  • Board work: carving knives and fine blades remove underfill and glue around chips; polishing pens and grinders clean pads and CPU surfaces.

Fine blades and carving knives remove underfill glue around BGA chips and clean pads after component removal.

What are grinding or polishing pens used for?
