Repairing Mobile Devices with gTools

If you’re in the mobile device repair industry, you’ve probably noticed how many devices come in with damaged screens and deformed edges from being dropped on their corners or facedown. If you need to replace the screen, you’ll find it nearly impossible to get a good fit if the edges are damaged badly. There are ways to repair the damaged edges and reform them, without using tools specifically for that purpose, but you can also further damage the casing if you’re not careful. Have you ever checked out gTools?

iCorner Toolkit

This tool repairs the corners of the Apple device by reshaping to the the original device factory design. The contoured shape of the repair tool pulls the damaged corner back into the original position by means of a hand turned knob, which allows you to both feel and see how the repair is coming along without overdoing it. If you see Apple devices coming in on a daily basis, these tools are worth checking out, as it will save you a lot of time and potential risk of damaging the devices over other conventional tools.

iCorner Assistance Tools Set

The Assistance Tools Set gives you a bit more useful leverage when working with the iCorner and Sidewall tools. You have a bit more control over the torque that’s especially useful on those more heavily damaged corners and sidewalls.

Sidewall Tool

The Sidewall Tool is great for fixing damaged sidewalls on Apple devices, which is another hindrance to getting the screen replaced. It works similar to how the iCorner tool works, with the same precision for pulling the sidewall back into shape.

gTool Screen Jack

This tool helps you remove iPhone screens easily and with less risk of damaging the screen, the device, or the small parts. Without a tool like this you run the risk of causing exterior damage to the casing on the device. The screen jack uses suction cups with thumb screws to hold the device, and the lifting screws help you to get enough leverage to lift the screen up from the casing without damaging the device or the internal parts.

You can find all these tools in the gTools kits such as the B-Series toolkit in their website. This comes with all the repair heads and drivers needed for all the common Apple devices. One of the bonus points of these tools is that you don’t have to spend a lot of time training an employee in how to perform some of these repairs, because these tools make it really easy to do repairs on mobile devices.

Hammers, chisels, and scrapers are useful for brute force on more durable objects, but when you work on mobile devices with fragile parts, precision designed tools like these will make it much easier and you’ll get it done faster and appear highly professional at the same time. The kit featured above comes in it’s own case with a spot for each tool, helping you keep all the parts from getting lost in a toolbox.

If you’re just starting out in mobile device repair, there are many YouTube videos demonstrating how easy it is to use the gTools to repair mobile devices. It doesn’t take long to pick up, and these are common repair jobs you can learn to do yourself, if it’s not something you currently feature in your service offerings.
