Review on Headphone Jack Removal Tool - Headphone Plug Extractor with Multiple Tube Sizes and Jack Remover by Michael Domus

The entire tip of my headphone jack broke in my phone. I've tried many different DIY ways to remove the jack but nothing I've tried has worked to remove the stuck jack. Knowing that this tool might not work, I decided to buy it and give it a try anyway as some of the reviewers had success. I also bought a small hammer after reading other reviewers that the small hammer has enough weight to push the pipe deep enough without breaking it. Pipe is enough to grab the bushing to pull it out. I tried putting it in a couple of times before finally deciding to use small pliers to get a better grip to pull it out. Bad idea, I ended up crushing the top part of the tube and had a very hard time getting it off, even with pliers! When I finally managed to pull the phone out, it was empty, the plug was still in my phone. I switched to a long pipe and gently hammered it back in with a hammer. To crush the second pipe, I hit the hammer several times, twisting and pulling the pipe with my fingers. Eventually a small piece of the jack broke off in the tube and I pulled it out. I repeated this process a few more times and was able to pull out a second, larger piece of the jack. There was still a large chunk of the jack trapped inside and I tried a few more times to get it out without success. If you look at the attached picture, the largest piece of the jack stays inside with a narrow top. I managed to pull it out a little, at which point I tried using tweezers to pull it all the way out. It took a few tries, but eventually I got a good grip on the tweezers and the last large piece of the latch fell out! Patience, repetition, gentleness, and ingenuity are definitely required for this tool to work, but it works. JOB!
