Headphone Plug Extraction Tool- Remove Broken Headphone Plug from Headphone Jack of Mobile Devices

Hey amazingly the darn thing works!! Two broken headphones extracted from ipads, no damage to ipad. Use the weight of the device itself to slid the shim into the headphone socket, then use the round metal keyring to pull it out, along with the broken plug.I hold the device upside down on the broken pluig and press the shim deeper into it by pushing it down onto a pad of paper.So far I am 2 for two extractions using the same shim. I don't know how many times I will be able to use the same shim, but hey its already saved me 2 ipad repairs, so that makes it a great tool.Don't use needle nose pliers or you will crimp the shim! Do be careful of cutting your knuckles when extracting.(they say wear thin gloves, which might be a good idea)

I accidently broke my cheap ear bud's plug inside my Fire tablet's earphone jack. Unfortunately making it override stuck earphones, have sound come out of the speaker when it senses an earphone plug isn't available; so my only option was to use wireless earphones. I heard about this tool, looked for it on Amazon and bought it. It arrived 2 days later and I tried it. I knew from the other reviews to be careful as the rods are sharp both ways, and that the rod might need to be slightly pounded in. So after a few tries I got brave and pounded it in, figuring I wasn't going to make it any worse even if I damaged the earphone jack itself. And it WORKED! It worked really well, need to be careful removing the rod too. I only had to add earphones and reboot the Fire Tablet and it and it worked just fine with new earbuds. Save me a lot of money getting a store repair done for the $8 cost and I got several extra rods in case this happens again.

This item didn’t extract anything in fact it pushed the plug further into the Chromebook and needed tech support. Tech had to take the Chromebook apart and work on it from the inside. Cheaply made tool that didn’t work.

I got my aux cord stuck in the import in my car a couple of months ago and tried everything to get it out , and nothing worked until i got this it got it out right away and is super fast to use!! you have to press the piece a little hard into the import but after that just grab some needle nose pliers and pull it right out! It works great for the amount of money you pay. also the size is super small which makes it easy to store, it does come with several different lengths as well incase one breaks or you just needed a different one.

Got the job done! Brand new laptop I use for editing, so you know it is no low end system, already had it set up, so I didn't want to return it. Old headphones, the end of the jack broke off, and this was the only safe way I could see getting it out.Took several tries, the more of the plug in there, the easier it is to get. I only had the very tip. I had to twist, and eventually tap the tool in. I marked it how deep the plug was, so I wouldn't tap in too far. Also, grip it really tight, like with pliers, and wiggle and twist. That's what worked for me.

The other day I attempted to plug my headphones into my laptop, but to a shocking surprise, I had a perfectly fit sphere inserted deep into my headphone jack. I attempted to get it out using bobby-pins, a toothpick and air but nothing seemed to work, so I decided to go on Amazon. After approximately 3 minutes I was able to fully remove the ball and my headphone jack worked perfectly.I would highly recommend these. They’re nice because they can grab things but the sharp end also smashed the plastic ball that was inserted into my headphone jack. Great product.

This product works about half of the time. If you push too hard it breaks but they do give you several pieces so I figured this would happen.

Glad to find this. Broke my earphone off in my kindle and tried this. Did not work at first but once I figured out you need to use pliers it worked perfectly. Saved me $100
