Looking for Head Comb for Samsung HA500LJ

[Flameborn]

Greetings

I am having some problems while changing the heads of a Samsung HA500LJ (It says TRIDENT on the PCB). Since the heads are resting on the platter I wanted to use head combs that we had in the company and apparently the combs we used on another 3.5 samsung HDD was not suitable for this one. We have no compatible combs at hand so we will be ordering online.

Thanks to this forum I have learned that HDD surgery tools were too expensive for their worth I am looking for alternatives. Apex tools have several E shaped tools but looks like they are meant for unsticking stuck heads. Can you tell me some alternatives?

I have the HDDsurgery tool and to be honest I don't like it, because usually I can't unscrew the heads with it.
I ordered the Apex tool but I still didn't tested it.

Apex's E tools are used just for this purpose. They can be used for stuck heads, but it's a dual-purpose tool. Don't let the name confuse you.

I can't say I recall using this specific tool, but overall I've been very happy with the tools from Apex.

Thank you so much for your input. I guess I'll go with the apex tools.
