Aven Tools 18049TTB Titanium Blue Tweezers, Pattern #2A
Aven Tools 18049TTB Titanium Blue Tweezers, Pattern #2A
The Aven Tools 18049TTB Titanium Blue Tweezers feature wide, rounded Pattern 2A tips for handling parts where a rounded profile is preferred over a fine point. The 118 mm titanium body provides lightweight, non-magnetic handling, with approximately 25 mm tips. A blue titanium oxide PVD finish adds corrosion resistance and durability. Each pair is handcrafted and individually inspected under a microscope.
Best Uses / Applications
- Small-part assembly: Pick up and position parts whose size and shape suit the wide, rounded tips.
- Rounded-tip handling: Choose Pattern 2A when a pointed tip is unnecessary or unsuitable for the intended contact area.
- Inspection and sorting: Transfer and orient small workpieces during visual checks and bench sorting.
- Microscope-assisted positioning: Manipulate suitable parts under magnification without relying on a fine-point profile.
- Magnetically sensitive work: Use non-magnetic titanium where tool magnetism could interfere with the workpiece or process.
- Silicon-chip industry handling: Evaluate the tool for parts handling against your process and contamination-control requirements.

Titanium Blue Tip Pattern Comparison
| Model / Pattern | Tip profile | Overall length | Approximate tip length |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18049TTB / 2A | Wide, rounded | 118 mm | 25 mm |

Choose Pattern 2A for its rounded profile, or a pointed pattern when your task requires point access. Rounded tips do not guarantee scratch-free or damage-free handling; grip pressure and workpiece material still matter.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Aven 18049TTB?
It is a Pattern 2A titanium precision tweezer with wide, rounded tips and a blue titanium oxide PVD finish.
When should I choose Pattern 2A?
Choose it for handling parts when a wide, rounded tip profile suits the contact area better than a fine or strong point.
How long are the tweezers and tips?
Overall length is 118 mm (4.64 inches), and tip length is approximately 25 mm.
How does Pattern 2A differ from AA and OO?
Pattern 2A has wide, rounded tips. Patterns AA and OO taper to strong points, with approximately 10 mm and 5 mm tip lengths respectively.
Are these tweezers magnetic?
No. The supplied product information identifies the titanium construction as non-magnetic.
What does the blue PVD finish provide?
The titanium oxide Physical Vapor Deposition process produces the blue finish and adds corrosion resistance and durability.
Are they ESD rated?
The supplied listing does not specify an ESD rating or electrical resistance range. Non-magnetic titanium and the blue finish do not establish ESD protection.
Are they certified for a specific cleanroom class?
No specific cleanroom class or particle-release test is supplied. Qualify the tool against your process requirements rather than assuming certified or guaranteed particle-free performance.
Will rounded tips prevent damage to parts?
Not necessarily. Use appropriate grip pressure and confirm compatibility with the workpiece. The supplied information does not establish a scratch-free or damage-free handling guarantee.
Where are they made?
The listed country of origin is Pakistan. Each pair is handcrafted and individually inspected under a microscope.
Handling Guidance
Use controlled grip pressure appropriate to the part. Avoid prying, twisting or excessive squeezing that could damage alignment or the workpiece.
