Glass may look great but it’s also extremely fragile and damage-prone. Removing these panels during repairs can be rather challenging, and laptop and TV manufacturers don’t make it easier. Enter our recommended tool: Heavy-Duty Suction Cups.
iFixit Heavy-Duty Suction Cups for a safe grip on glass displays
Keep a tight grip on slippery glass whether you’re dealing with an iMac display, a broken Smart TV screen, or even a cracked windowpane.
How the heavy-duty suction cups work
Using the suction cups is easy peasy: Place it in the center of a display and fold down the handle. This creates a vacuum in the suction cup that firmly holds the display panel. Thanks to the convenient handles you can easily apply upwards force.
Once the broken screen is separated, simply fold the handle up again to release the suction cup. Make sure the glass is as clean as possible to ensure a good grip.
Make it easy
When repairing a device, display removal is often the riskiest part. A slight slip can lead to a ton of problems. We highly recommend using our suction cups to avoid cracks, breakages, and even fingerprints. With the right tools, DIY repair can be so easy. Plus, it’s a great choice for your budget and the environment.
