Otvárací nástroj iFixit EU145219-4

The iFixit EU145219-4 Opening tool is a compact repair accessory designed to separate tightly sealed displays and housings without causing damage. It is tailored for Late 2012 iMac models where the display is bonded with foam tape to the aluminum frame; the tool allows technicians and hobbyists to access internal components by cutting the adhesive layer in a controlled manner.

Advantages

The tool consists of a durable laser-cut nylon handle that provides a secure grip and accepts the cutting wheel, and a slim cutting wheel engineered to fit into the hair-thin gap between the display and frame. Together they enable precise, low-risk separation of the display from the chassis while minimising strain on the glass and surrounding components.

Suitable for

• Late 2012 iMac models with foam-taped displays
• Desktop computer display replacement and internal repairs
• Technicians and experienced DIY repairers working on bonded screen assemblies
