Screen Vise Clamps are adjustable clamps used around the perimeter of phone, tablet, and smartwatch screens or back panels to set replacement adhesive after a repair.

Follow these basic instructions to properly use your clamps without damaging your device.

Caution: Don't use vise clamps to forcibly close a bulging device! Your battery might be swollen—if it is, take appropriate precautions.

For detailed instructions specific to your device and repair, see our repair guides.

      • In order for the adhesive to bond correctly, you'll need to apply even pressure around the perimeter of your device.

      • Do not use vise clamps to forcibly close a bulging device.

      • Before beginning this repair, we recommend cleaning your device to avoid catching debris between the vise jaws and the device.

      • Open a screen vise clamp and slide it over the edge of your device, as far as it will go.

      • If your device has a camera bump and the clamp is able to sit squarely over the center of a lens, you only need to use one clamp for the camera bump.

      • If the clamp is not able to sit squarely over the center of a lens, use two clamps spaced evenly over the camera bump.

      • Over-tightening may damage your device's screen or back cover.

      • Spin the vise clamp knob clockwise to lower the upper jaw onto the screen.

      • Spin the knob until the jaw makes light contact with the screen, and then tighten down one half turn.

      • The clamp isn't meant to be very tight just yet.

      • Repeat the previous steps for the five remaining vise clamps: one at each of the four corners, and one in the middle of each long edge.

      • For larger tablets, more than six vise clamps may be needed to ensure the adhesive bonds evenly around the entire perimeter.

      • Using a hair dryer or heat gun, evenly heat the edges all the way around the device until they are slightly too hot to touch. The heat will help the adhesive form a more complete bond.

      • Don't overheat the device, or you may cause the battery to ignite or damage other heat-sensitive components, like the display.

      • While the device is still hot, tighten all six vise clamps down one full turn.

      • Don't tighten any further to avoid damaging your device.

      • Leave the vise clamps in place for about thirty minutes.
