Did you think I didn't read that exact section before I made this argument?
Show me where they're out of compliance. The only leg you can stand on is thermal energy, and like it or not, you absolutely can pull screens without heat guns or hair dryers so long as you have suction cups. You can literally spend less than $30 to get all the bits, suction cups and picks needed for repairs so the tools are commercially available.
Suction cups count as specialist tools. They are tools explicitly for removing the screen of a smartphone.
Commercially standard means things like screwdrivers that can be used for any number of circumstances. Also pretty much every single repair guide involves a hair dryer so I'm not sure what phone you're talking about.
Commercially standard is some hogwash you're making up out of thin air. The language is "commercially available" which every single tool needed already is. Like I said that you completely ignored $30 gets every bit, pick, tweezer and suction cup needed. Every single guide calls for heat, yes, it is indeed a good idea, but it is absolutely not NECESSARY. Do you understand? You can take a readily, commercially available suction cup from a $20 kit from Amazon and remove screens (and therefore batteries) without using thermal energy.
So I'm sorry you don't know what I'm talking about, but the bigger issue is you simply don't know what you're talking about.
