I use old credit cards. They work great for prying things apart and I can always cut it to shape if needed.

I use guitar picks sometimes, I got these/ nicked these off my daughter who got them on the front of a teen magazine.

7 quid ($12) for a strip of metal !
For pitys sake !

You can imagine it on "Dragons Den".
(I believe the American version is called "Shark Tank")

" Hi, my names Rob, and I'd like £50,000 to invest in my metal opener product"

Duncan Banatine (Glasgow accent)
"That is the most ridiculous product I have ever heard of.
It's pathetic
You're pathetic
Get Oot of ma sight, ya waste of space"

(Proceeds to pick up conveniently placed house-brick and hurls it at me, thankfully, it bounces painlessly off my testi***s)
---
"Hi Rob, I'm Peter (Joanes). I can see something there I can screw some money out of..... Let's talk"
---
"Hi Rob, I'm Deborah (Meedon). It's far too technical for me, I'm out"
---
"Hi Rob, I'm Theo (Profiterole), can you carve up Donner kebabs with it ?"

-------------

Well, I just bought one,
what can I say, it's saturday night and I'm bored.
And it will probably be worth it.

Incidentally, Duncan Bannatyne (ice cream salesman to millionaire) has recently been reported / developed heart issues.
It's unlikely he would read my diatribe, nevertheless, I wish him well.

I use guitar picks...have also used thin paint scrapers to get more leverage. If you cover the edge with tape it will not damage the surfaces.

Guitar picks and old credit / gift cards for me, never leaves a mark.

What are you guys using to seperate the parts of laptops/phones that are clipped together.

I keep buying these
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/REPAIR-OP...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item4ab9ae7b8a

The main tools from that which I use are the two longer blue plastic spudgers on the left of the picture but i keep snapping the ends off them.

Do you guys use anything a bit more substantial ?

I would like to stick with plastic tools as metal ones could potentially cause damage to the plastic when using them

Cheers

Have you tried Plastic furniture wedges ? About £2.00 for a pack of 10 from Morrisons. a pack lasts ages & they don't damage plastic cases.

I'm sitting here on Long Island, New York saying "What the hell is this guy talking about ?".

It's a Brit thing If you've never been on a British Rail Train you would'nt understand
