Ideal-tek 00B.SA.0.ITU High Precision Tweezers | Anti-Magnetic SS, 120mm
The Ideal-tek 00B.SA.0.ITU high precision tweezers combine straight, thick, squared Type 00 tips with line-serrated handles for controlled component handling. The 120 mm SA anti-magnetic, anti-acid stainless steel body has a sandblasted finish. Ideal-tek describes this tip style for applications requiring a component to be held firmly, with handle serrations providing additional grip.
This model is not ESD safe. Anti-magnetic construction does not establish an ESD-safe designation. Evaluate the tool against the component, contact restrictions and approved handling process before use.
Best Uses / Applications
-
Firm component holding: evaluate the thick, squared tips where the part offers an appropriate gripping surface.
-
Bench and precision assembly: assess the line-serrated handles, reach and release control in the actual fixture.
-
Electronics and SMT work: consider only where the task permits a non-ESD-safe tool. Do not infer suitability for static-sensitive components from the stainless steel material.
-
Laboratory and general manufacturing tasks: check material compatibility, cleanliness and acceptable contact pressure for the specific process.

Selection Comparison
| Requirement |
How to evaluate the 00B |
| Firm holding with a thick tip profile |
Compare the 0.90 mm wide, 0.55 mm thick tips with the permitted contact area and available clearance. |
| Very fine access |
A finer-tip style may provide different access and visibility. For reference, the Ideal-tek 000.SA.0 has 0.20 mm wide, 0.17 mm thick tips; evaluate either style on the actual part. |
| Additional handle grip |
Evaluate the line-serrated handles in the real workstation setup; grip texture does not eliminate slip or handling risks. |
| Static-sensitive assembly |
This model is not ESD safe. Evaluate an appropriately designated alternative within the approved ESD-control process. |
| Avoiding metal contact |
Evaluate a suitable plastic-tip or full-plastic tool separately for marking, cleanliness, wear and chemical compatibility. |
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 00 tip style mean on this model?
Ideal-tek lists a Type 00 tip profile with thick, squared, strong features. The tips are straight, 0.90 mm wide and 0.55 mm thick. They provide a different contact geometry from a fine-point style; select by the actual part and task rather than assuming more gripping force is appropriate.
Are the 00B.SA.0.ITU tweezers ESD safe?
No. The manufacturer explicitly lists this model as not ESD safe. Anti-magnetic stainless steel is not an ESD-safe designation. Follow the approved tool-selection process for static-sensitive work.
What is the benefit of the serrated handles?
The line serrations provide additional handle grip. They do not guarantee slip-free handling. Evaluate grip, contact pressure and controlled release with the real component and fixture.
What does SA stainless steel mean?
SA identifies Ideal-tek's anti-magnetic, anti-acid stainless steel material. These properties do not establish compatibility with every chemical, cleaning agent or process condition. Review the material data sheet and the specific exposure before use.
How long are these tweezers, and are they reverse action?
Overall length is 120 mm / 4.724 in. This is a standard squeeze-action model, not a reverse-action holding tweezer.
How does this model compare with the 000.SA.0?
The 00B has thicker, broader squared tips and line-serrated handles. The 000.SA.0 has fine tips measuring 0.20 mm wide and 0.17 mm thick. Both are 120 mm long and manufacturer-listed as not ESD safe. The preferred contact geometry depends on the component and available clearance.
What should be checked before use?
Inspect tip alignment, contact surfaces and handle condition for damage, wear or debris. Use a cleaning procedure confirmed compatible with the tool and process. Remove damaged tools from service rather than compensating with excessive gripping pressure.
