I bought this because I just needed something to help me open up a 5th Generation iPod Video.
After receiving it in the mail, I discovered that the tools were really different from the picture shown. My tools were orange, and one of the screwdrivers looked different too. Since I was going to use the tools once, I didn't care.

First, I used the orange iPod opening tools, and their tips all broke off. I had to stick to using several guitar picks instead. I also thought the suction cup was a joke, but I actually used it to help me separate the face plate from the back plate, and it worked. The screwdrivers worked too, and helped me install things into my iPod.

I was disappointed that the opening tools broke, because I figured I might actually need to use them. The tools are also priced too high, for tools that break easily. If I were you, I would buy a different set of tools, especially if you might need to use the kit more than once. The is not even good for just one use.

Don't waste your money. The 'pry' tools are absolute garbage. The only worthwhile tool in the pack is the screwdriver. Instead, go to a local hardware store and get a small screwdriver and suction cup. It'll cost you a dollar, tops.

I can't comment on the plastic pry tools breaking, because I didn't even get that far. The screwdriver doesn't even fit the iphone screws! I ended up with two of these kits, and neither of them could take the first 2 screws off of the iphone. The tip of the screwdriver is already blunted after just a couple of tries to get the screws out, and I'm going to have to go to the hardware store and buy a real tool.

I read some of the other reviews AFTER I ordered this item, and I got a little nervous about my investment, small as it may be. But what I got in the mail was exactly like the picture. The plastic pieces were solid, they didn't break when I used them. The screw drivers, well, they removed the screws. I was able to replace the battery in about 45 minutes with no real problems, other than re-attaching some of the cables. Anyway, it was way worth the $4 I spent.

it was a cheap kit the stuff broke and it is nothing like the picture, but it did the job.

After breaking the screen of my HTC Thunderbolt, I was able to fully disassemble and reassemble the phone with these tools. The large driver has a great magnetic tip for the ultra small screws along with a swivel cap for easy use. Both pry bars were helpful in removing the snap-fit plastic case or the adhesive lined glass front. The suction cup is about as worthless as possible. I haven't seen any How-To videos that use a suction cup, and I didn't struggle through the screen removal.

Unfortunately the plastic pry bars are basically single use. A heavy guitar pick is more useful in starting the separation of components, but the pry bars do a good job of providing leverage.

**Overall**
Pros:
-Super cheap
-Magnetic driver with swivel cap
-Actually works

Cons:
-Worthless suction cup
-Should include a guitar pick
-Pry bars are single use

This item sucks! Did not come with any philips screw drivers just a piece of crap flat head and two of the plastic openers. So I'm now stuck in the process of still taking my Ipod apart because it did not come with the screw drivers! NOT WORTH IT! And the plastic openers broke!

Well, I can't agree that the scrapers/wedgers are bad quality, because I haven't gotten to use them! The screwdrivers I was sent are unusable. I was sent one flat head - there are no flat head screws. I was also sent a Phillips head, but it was too large to remove the screws!

Put simply, Amazon tricks you into thinking that this kit will work for HTC Evo repairs by pairing it with your digitizer in the suggestion box below the product info. I saw that it was intended for iPods but I figured since Amazon suggested it that it would at least have the correct screw diver necessary to execute the repair... It didn't. Do not buy this if you plan on doing Evo repairs. I'm giving this product a one-star rating based on it's false advertising.

While the tools got us so far, we couldn't get the 00 Phillips to work on the inside 5 screws of the 3G. We had to get another tip to get it off. The suction cup worked, but only after we helped it out by prying the glass up with a razor blade at the same time. The blue pry bar things... not needed.

Basically, it boils down to the fact that this kit is NOT worth the money for the 3G. You are better off buying a better rated kit. This is a cheap imitation of what you really need, and will just end up frustrated.
