Your friendly neighborhood nylon spudger can do amazing things. With antistatic pointed and blunt tips, it’s a great all-around tool to use on internal components.

Use the spudger to:

Disconnect cable connectors.

Pry components free.

Aid in soldering.

Remove thermal paste, adhesive, or tape.

Be sure to list the appropriate tool in your guide. The heavy duty spudger is a more robust version of the standard spudger. They look similar, but one of these things is not like the other.
