E-Z Pik: Color-Coded Precision Tweezers from Aven Tools
Aven's E-Z Pik tweezers are color-coated stainless steel precision tweezers designed for electronics assembly, PCB rework, component placement, and inspection tasks. Each handle color corresponds to a specific tip style, making it fast to grab the right tool at a shared workstation without reading part numbers. The E-Z Pik line includes straight serrated, general-purpose, and fine-tip styles — all built to Aven's standard of strong, precise, repeatable tip alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the color coding on E-Z Pik tweezers?
The color-coded handles allow technicians to instantly identify the correct tip style without reading part numbers or labels. At shared workstations or in kitted tool sets, color coding reduces errors and speeds up tool selection — particularly useful in high-volume assembly or inspection environments.
Are Aven E-Z Pik tweezers ESD safe?
The standard E-Z Pik line uses stainless steel construction and is not rated ESD safe. If your application requires ESD-safe tweezers for handling electrostatic-sensitive devices, contact MTE Solutions for ESD-rated tweezer options.
What tip style should I choose for SMT component placement?
For SMT pick-and-place work, the OOD (White) serrated straight tip provides a firm grip on small components. For fine-pitch or delicate components where marring is a concern, the 3-SA (Beige) precision straight tip is a better choice.
How do I order Aven E-Z Pik tweezers through MTE Solutions?
