Q: QuestionWould it be safe to use something like a clean putty knife rather than this to take my laptop apart?

Asked 5 years ago by Clint.

• A:Answer Yes and no. This tends to be a bit thinner than an average putty knife and allows more precision due toe the blade being a bit smaller than the putty knife. In all honesty, the plastic spudgers work wonders as well, but wear out. This works pretty good for tougher things to pry open.
