No. That is the primary advantage of this tool. The SS-601G uses mechanical suction and screw tension — no heat gun or heating pad needed.

Instead of heat, isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is used to soften the screen adhesive. This is much safer for OLED and LCD screens, flex cables, and batteries — all of which can be damaged by excess heat.

The clamping width adjusts from 129mm to 170mm. This covers essentially all standard smartphones — from compact models like the iPhone 13 mini up to large Plus/Max/Ultra phones.

Measure your phone's width before use. Very compact phones (under 129mm) or very wide tablets may not seat correctly. If in doubt, call us on 0480 039 913 to confirm compatibility before ordering.

The SS-601G has a built-in camera protective groove that positions the clamp away from the rear camera module. This prevents the camera bump from being crushed or scratched during repair.

Flex cable damage from screen removal is almost always caused by prying too aggressively, not by the suction process. The SS-601G's slow screw tension lift gives you full control to stop before the cable is stressed.

Yes. The SS-601G is suitable for both front screen and back glass removal. Many repair technicians use it for back glass on Samsung and iPhone models.

Back glass is often bonded more strongly than front screens. Apply IPA generously and wait longer before applying suction tension. Work slowly around the edges before the full panel lifts.

The SS-601G is designed for professional technicians but is learnable by motivated beginners. The screw tension system is the key safety feature — it prevents the sudden, uncontrolled snap that often cracks screens during manual prying.

If you are new to phone repair, practice the clamping and suction steps on a spare or broken device before working on a live phone. Understanding the correct IPA soak time is the most important variable to master.

Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is used to dissolve the screen adhesive — not to clean the phone. A small amount is applied precisely along the screen-to-frame gap using a syringe or dropper.

IPA evaporates quickly and is safe for phone internals when used in small quantities. Use 70–99% concentration IPA for best results. Avoid applying IPA directly to the screen surface or speaker grilles.

Yes. The heat-free operation of the SS-601G makes it particularly well-suited for OLED displays. OLED panels are highly sensitive to heat — thermal stress can cause permanent colour shifts and dead zones.

Using IPA and mechanical suction instead of a heat gun is the preferred method for OLED separation by experienced technicians. Take extra care during lift as OLED panels are thinner and more flexible than LCD assemblies.

This tool is sold as-is without a formal warranty period. It is a professional workshop tool designed for regular use by technicians.
