The spudger is the tool that gets picked up first on almost every repair. One end is a flat blade for prying and separating, the other is a hook for lifting connectors and fishing out cable. Made from tough anti-static nylon, so it will not scratch housings, mar plastic or short anything on a live board.
Three to a pack because these wear out. The blade end dulls and the hook end eventually splays with heavy use - having spares means you are never stuck reaching for a screwdriver and wrecking a housing.
What it's good for
- Lifting and seating ZIF and press-fit connectors without bending pins
- Prying apart clipped plastic housings - NTDs, routers, modems, wall boxes
- Hooking and routing cables in tight enclosures
- Separating adhesive-mounted components
- Working around live boards - anti-static nylon, non-conductive
