About Us

Delid Tool is an independent hardware product developed to support professional console repair, restoration, and thermal maintenance work. Our focus is on providing precision-engineered tools and clear technical guidance for users who understand the risks involved in processor delidding.

Over time, gaming consoles can experience thermal degradation caused by aging interface materials beneath the processor lid. In specific cases, careful delidding and reapplication of thermal material can improve heat transfer and stability. This process is inherently high-risk and is not suitable for every console or every user.

Delid Tool products are designed to help experienced users apply controlled force, predictable blade depth, and repeatable movement during adhesive separation. Tools can reduce variability in the process, but they do not eliminate risk or replace preparation, judgment, or technique.

We believe responsible use starts with informed decision-making. That’s why Delid Tool emphasizes safety considerations, failure modes, and situations where delidding should not be attempted, alongside the tools themselves. There is no single required method or tool for delidding, and outcomes depend on the condition of the hardware and the approach taken.

Delid Tool is built with durability, consistency, and repair-environment use in mind. Our products are intended for users who are prepared to assess risk, pause when conditions are not right, and accept that choosing not to proceed is sometimes the correct outcome.

Our goal is not to promote delidding as a universal solution, but to support careful, informed repair work where it is appropriate. In many cases, particularly with launch-era PlayStation 3 consoles, restoration also involves replacing missing or damaged cosmetic components such as the card reader cover.
