🔧 iFixit Magnetic Project Mat: The Ultimate Magnetized Work Surface for Electronics, Phone, and Laptop Repair Review

I needed this while disassembling my Mac Mini for an upgrade in storage. I put it aside and screwed the screws onto it and I had no problems. I read a lot of reviews complaining about the handle. I had no issues with the pencil not being dark enough, dry or anything like that. The other side of the pen is an eraser for each letter you write on the mat. I noticed that with some effort it rubbed off and left no marks. I did a test with a couple of screws and when I lifted the mat and laid it on…

I use it for my iPhone bits when replacing a digitizer or similar. The magnetic pad holds the parts fairly securely and the high quality Staedler dry erase pen with a very fine tip allows me to identify the part and put all parts in removal/replacement order with notes. Very satisfied. I would give five stars but my board has a bulge because the clear plastic film doesn't fit the magnetic pad well or because quality control missed it. But it's still very useful and I use it all the time, even…

I work in IT and have repaired hundreds of laptops and desktops over the years. I finally decided to break down and get one of these after losing the screws and forgetting what size screw went where when reassembling.

I called support and it prompted me to leave a message for them to call me back so I left a message. Nothing replied, it's been 6 days and still nothing so I emailed…

I'm a handyman who can fix almost anything. But my biggest problem is losing the screws or being left with 2 or 3 screws after assembling something. Having recently replaced a screen on an iPhone and had 1 screw left that I couldn't find room for, I decided to use one of these. I was testing it when my laptop's DC port broke. I ordered a replacement connector which required extensive stripping and soldering - took the laptop apart and not a single screw was left. Being able to jot down notes on

This is the professional version of the iFixit magnetic pads. It comes in a white box on top of a blue box instead of a white plastic blister, and it's definitely a thicker model. This pillow is quite firm and definitely doesn't pucker if that bothers you. I've already had the opportunity to use it today and I love it. Hopefully no more screws are lost. The grip is fantastic as you can see in the picture where the mat is held upright with a couple of tweezers and lots of nuts and bolts and the…
