I was looking at a video about DriveSavers, it seems to have a universal tool for head replacement?
do you know those tools?

Looks like a modified version of the HDRC tools.

It looks like complete junk to me, similar to what we were using 10 years ago, and yes, Luke is right, looks like HDRC.

Sadly, that was a paid gig for Linus from Linus Tech Tips on YouTube. I remember it well when I clicked the unsubscribe button.

With the amount of money DriveSavers charges for data recovery, you'd think that they'd be using HDDSurgery tools, not cheap dollar store stuff.

DriveSavers doesn't even seem to be using clean bench, just clean room.

You'll be very relieved to know that all SSD work is done in a clean room.

I personally wouldn’t use a cheap head comb designed for landing zone type drives on a ramped head drive!
