A '''spudger''' (or sometimes '''spludger''') is a tool that has a wide flat-head screwdriver-like end that extends as a wedge, used to separate pressure-fit plastic components without causing damage during separation. The flat end of the spudger is often used to loosen or release components inside [[electronics]], for example during the replacement of batteries or touch screens for [[smartphones]]. The other end is often a point or a hook depending on application. When applied to separate pressure-fit panels, there is often a point to create an initial gap before the wedge end is utilized.
