ALPS Switch Opener Tool to Disassemble, LINEARIZE, Modify, Clean Switches Blue

Description

Up for buy it now is a custom ALPS switch opener tool. Each lot is for one opener tool shown.  It is about 0.20 inches thick. The tines have been sharpened so that they slide in between the two parts of the switch better, so you should expect to see some evidence of sanding there.
Directions for use: Gently push switch opener tool over the top of the switch housing so that it goes between the retaining tabs. Once the opener tool is pushed most of the way onto the switch and the locking lower retaining tabs are free from he sides of the top housing, pinch the top housing with your thumb and pointer finger and pull straight up on the top housing. In most cases, these will not grip the top housing hard enough to pull it out without also pulling up on the top housing. This is so as not to scratch/damage the top housings. Switches are more easily disassembled while loose rather than installed in a keyboard as there is less room for your fingers to pull up on the top housing, but it definitely can still be done without uninstalling switches.
Please check my other listings for other available switch types and samplers.
