After very successfully replacing my 2005 HP iPod Photo battery with an iFixit kit, I just picked up a few items that will help on some of the miniature work that I'm into right now.

My eyes aren't getting any younger so the Head Magnifier, Helping Hands and Inspection scope will keep the details in sight.

The two Gerstner Toolboxes are going to free up some bench space and keep the small stuff organized.

The Flush Wire Cutter is the best there is and will make quick work out of small places.

The images show my 38" diameter digital clock that uses Atomic Clock reference reception of WWVB.

나의 수리

My lighted hands digital clock will need everything from my tool order and more.

The clock uses two Microchip 8-bit controllers - One to advance the current Atomic Time, set time zone and adjust lamp brightness while positioning the two proportional servos to the correct hand positions. This chip also outputs a pulse-train of current time into a second controller chip that acts as a smart port expander that drives the twelve purple hour LEDs which pattern against the current time from a table of time & actions in its memory.

Some of my tools date back to the late 70's so a tool upgrade was sorely needed.

As modern devices get smaller and smaller, the right tools are just what the doctor ordered.

My son is in the "IT" field and is always wanting more tools and your store has plenty of them.

나의 수리

There was no certain reason I bought these products except for that Christmas is coming and my son loves your store. He gave me long list of things that he would like to have and I was able to buy many items because of your good prices.

내 조언

Buy, buy buy. Products are of good quality.

These are wonderful and useful tool items with no certain purpose in mind.

나의 수리

Well the repair that I bought these items for hasn't happened yet. He won't open them until Dec. 25th. Oh boy, then he'll tear stuff up like there's no tomorrow.

내 조언

These many tools that I purchased were for my son for Christmas. He is in the IT field. He has purchased many items from you before and just loves them. That is why he recommended more items from your store to help him with his career and I thought that why not make him more successful than me, (I'm not in the IT area, I can barely type this response.)

iPhone 4 battery was not holding much of a charge anymore. For 3 years old, it was okay, but $20 to fix it seemed like a good deal.

나의 수리

I watched MJ's video on the AT&T model and followed the "iPhone 4 Battery Replacement" guide. It's good to run through these a few times before opening it up. The repair itself went very much according to plan. Except the battery adhesive was STRONG! Not sure if this is a Verizon vs. AT&T difference, but it was pretty hard to get the battery out. I figured the battery was junk, anyway, and ended up getting the plastic pry tool underneath the lower right corner, put a small screwdriver in there to hold the progress I had made, and kept prying against the outer metal edge of the phone to make progress. Once I got the battery bent up enough, I pulled it free the rest of the way. Putting the new battery in and reassembling was pretty easy.

In some of these, the battery adhesive is *really strong*. (Only the Verizon ones, or just a few lucky folks like me?) It's not epoxy strong, but for something this small, you have to be careful where and how you pry. If you pry against the logic board, you'll probably break something important. ** Pry against the outer edge of the phone. ** The metal band can take the force. Don't push the band out, but push down against it with the pry tool. Be firm, but use minimum force needed, and use the plastic tool, so you don't scratch the metal. Also, you will likely destroy the old battery in the process of removing it. In the rare case that your new battery is a dud, can you live without your phone for a few days, while a different one arrives? Just be aware. ... That being said, the phone works now, and the battery is great. Awesome!
