The original standard spudger from iFixit is particularly suitable for use in electronics repair, as it does not scratch delicate devices or damage them through electrostatic discharge. It should be a staple in any electronics toolkit.

This robust nylon tool is fiberglass reinforced, 12.7 cm long, and features a flat end and a pointed end. This makes it ideal for working with more delicate components: the flat end can be used to disconnect plugs, remove thermal paste from a heatsink, pry components apart, and is also very helpful when soldering. The pointed end can be used to connect or disconnect components, poke around, and hold objects during soldering tasks. The tool also has a small notch for hooking cables.

Comparable to Apple's "Black Stick," Apple part number 922-5065.
