Choosing the Right Precision Tweezers
Tweezers are simple and versatile tools, ideal for countless tasks and applications. Typically used for holding or manipulating small parts, Tweezers are a staple for industries such as medical device manufacturing and operation, laboratories, aerospace, health and beauty, PCB rework, and many more.
Like all tools, tweezers are not always a one-size-fits-all solution. Knowing about the different styles, and the various materials tweezers can be made from, will help you in determining which tweezers are right for you.
Materials:
Titanium
Titanium tweezers are excellent for use in the silicon chip industry, as they do not shed particles like the stainless steel. When it is determined that microscopic particles are a detriment when handling abrasive parts we recommend using titanium tweezers. In addition since titanium tweezers are 100% non magnetic, they are extremely useful when working with magnetic materials or when working in a magnetic field. Titanium is lightweight and a high strength material.
Carbofib
Fully ESD Safe (102 ohm) but at the same time, soft and non scratching. These conductive synthetic fiber tips are ideally suited to handle delicate and fragile components when extreme care and ESD safety are an absolute necessity. All carbofib tweezers are manually finished and tested for maximum precision. Chemical resistant and heat resistant up to 256ºC.
Stainless Steel
Stainless Steel tweezers are perfectly balanced for a superior feel. Light weight with soft tension with accurately
finished points. Recommended for work under high power magnification aerospace and
micro electronics and in applications where high precision is required. Stainless steel does show some magnetism.
Stainless Steel W/ PVD Infused coating
The attractive blue finish is a result of a PVD coating method, giving the tweezers
additional strength, durability, and scratch & corrosion resistance. These coatings can
reduce friction and provide a barrier against damage. The applications for these
coatings are ever expanding. Aerospace, automotive, defense, manufacturing and more
where long lasting durability is crucial.
