Ideal-tek 000.SA.0.ITU High Precision Tweezers | Fine Tip, Anti-Magnetic SS, 120mm
The Ideal-tek 000.SA.0.ITU high precision tweezers are designed to hold small components firmly while maintaining visibility of the work. The straight, fine tips measure 0.20 mm wide and 0.17 mm thick. A 120 mm body made from SA anti-magnetic, anti-acid stainless steel provides a defined metal contact surface for precision handling.
This model has a sandblasted finish and standard squeeze action, not reverse action. Ideal-tek lists the 000.SA.0 as not ESD safe. Do not select it for static-sensitive handling solely because it is stainless steel or anti-magnetic.
Best Uses / Applications
-
Small-component positioning: evaluate the fine, straight tips where access and a clear view of the contact point are important.
-
Electronics assembly and rework: consider for tasks where the component's static sensitivity and the approved handling process permit a non-ESD-safe tool.
-
Fine wire and micro-assembly work: evaluate tip contact and gripping pressure using the actual part and fixture.
-
Optical and medical-device manufacturing assemblies: consider only after checking contact restrictions, cleanliness and material compatibility. This product designation does not establish suitability for patient use.
-
Controlled-environment handling: qualify the complete tool against the site's cleaning and contamination-control process; no ISO cleanroom classification is established here.

Selection Comparison
| Handling requirement |
How to evaluate this model |
| Fine access to a small component |
Compare the 0.20 mm straight tips with the available clearance and intended gripping surface. |
| Holding a broad, flat part |
Compare the contact area with a broader flat-tip style; the finest tip is not automatically the best grip. |
| Avoiding direct metal contact |
Evaluate a suitable plastic-tip or full-plastic alternative separately for marking, wear and chemical compatibility. |
| Static-sensitive component handling |
This model is not ESD safe. Evaluate an appropriately designated alternative within the approved ESD-control process. |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 000 tip style intended for?
Ideal-tek describes Type 000 as suitable for holding small components firmly while maintaining good visibility. The straight tips are 0.20 mm wide and 0.17 mm thick. Test the contact geometry on the actual component rather than assuming the fine profile suits every part.
What does SA mean?
SA identifies Ideal-tek's anti-magnetic, anti-acid stainless steel material. These material properties do not guarantee compatibility with every acid, flux, solvent or cleaning cycle. Check the actual chemical and process conditions before use.
Are the 000.SA.0.ITU tweezers ESD safe?
No. The manufacturer explicitly lists this model as not ESD safe. Anti-magnetic construction is not an ESD-safe designation. Select tools for static-sensitive work according to the approved ESD-control process.
What finish does this model have?
Ideal-tek specifies a sandblasted finish. This listing does not claim a quantified glare reduction, fingerprint resistance or improved wear life for that finish.
Are these reverse-action tweezers?
No. This is a standard squeeze-action model, not a reverse-action holding tweezer.
Can this model be used in a cleanroom or medical-device manufacturing process?
Only after application-specific evaluation. The product page does not establish an ISO cleanroom classification, validated cleaning or sterilization compatibility, or suitability for patient contact. Check cleanliness, material compatibility and contact requirements for the defined manufacturing task.
How should the tips be inspected and maintained?
Inspect alignment and contact surfaces for burrs, debris, wear or damage before use. Follow a cleaning procedure confirmed compatible with the tool and the production process. Remove damaged tools from service rather than compensating with extra gripping force.
