Aven Tools 18053TTB Titanium Blue Tweezers, Pattern #3
Aven Tools 18053TTB Titanium Blue Tweezers, Pattern #3
The Aven Tools 18053TTB Titanium Blue Tweezers feature a Pattern #3 profile that tapers to a strong point for precision assembly, inspection and component positioning. The 138 mm overall length and approximately 25 mm tips offer a longer body and tip profile than the AA and OO models in the Titanium Blue range. Lightweight, non-magnetic titanium supports handling where tool magnetism is undesirable. The blue titanium oxide PVD finish adds corrosion resistance and durability, and each pair is handcrafted and individually inspected under a microscope.
Best Uses / Applications
- Precision assembly: Pick up and position small parts when a tapered strong-point profile suits the workpiece.
- Longer-profile handling: Choose the 138 mm body and approximately 25 mm tips when those dimensions suit your bench setup and approach path.
- Electronics inspection: Orient components during detailed visual checks or microscope-assisted examination.
- Soldering preparation and positioning: Hold or align parts during suitable soldering tasks; no temperature limit is supplied.
- Magnetically sensitive handling: Use non-magnetic titanium where tool magnetism could interfere with the workpiece or process.
- Silicon-chip industry tasks: Evaluate the tool for precise handling against your process and contamination-control requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Aven 18053TTB?
It is a Pattern #3 titanium precision tweezer with tapered strong-point tips and a blue titanium oxide PVD finish.
How long are the tweezers and tips?
Overall length is 138 mm (5.43 inches), and tip length is approximately 25 mm.
How does Pattern 3 compare with AA and OO?
All three supplied profiles taper to a strong point. Pattern 3 has a longer 138 mm body and approximately 25 mm tips, compared with AA at 121 mm overall with approximately 10 mm tips and OO at 123 mm overall with approximately 5 mm tips.
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.
Can I use them for soldering tasks?
Aven lists soldering tasks among the applications. Use them for suitable handling and positioning, but do not assume a high-temperature rating because no temperature limit is supplied.
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 tip alignment or the workpiece.
