IDEAL-TEK 4.SA.DR.0.ITU ESD Rubber Grip Tweezers 4.SA.DR, SS Anti-Mag, OAL 115mm-4.53in
IDEAL-TEK 4.SA.DR.0.ITU ESD Rubber Grip Tweezers 4.SA.DR, SS Anti-Mag, OAL 115mm-4.53in
The Ideal-tek 4.SA.DR.0.ITU ESD rubber-grip tweezers are designed for delicate tasks that require holding a small component firmly while maintaining good visibility. The straight, very fine, sharp tips provide a narrow contact profile, while the 115 mm body combines SA anti-acid, anti-magnetic stainless steel with ergonomic DR ESD-safe thermoplastic rubber grips. The manufacturer identifies the base model as 4.SA.DR.0.
Choose this style when access and visibility around a small component matter more than a broad, flat gripping surface. Match the tip geometry to the component, available clearance, and permitted contact force before selecting a tool.
Best Uses / Applications
- Holding and positioning small components during delicate precision-assembly tasks.
- Electronic-component handling where the complete DR tool configuration meets the approved ESD-control process.
- Inspection and positioning work where a very fine, straight tip helps preserve visibility around the contact point.
- Controlled-environment handling after qualification against the facility's cleaning, material, and contamination requirements.
Key Features
- Style 4 straight, very fine, sharp tips with a superior finish.
- SA anti-acid, anti-magnetic stainless-steel body with a sandblasted finish.
- DR ESD-safe thermoplastic rubber handles for an ergonomic gripping surface.
- 115 mm overall length with 0.11 mm tip width and 0.07 mm tip thickness.
- Non-reverse action; the tool is not a reverse-action holding tweezer.

Style 4 vs. Flat, Rounded Tips
| Selection factor | Style 4 very fine, sharp tips | Flat, rounded tips |
|---|---|---|
| Handling priority | Small-component access and visibility | Holding a flat component with an appropriate flat contact profile |
| Evaluation | Check clearance, alignment, contact force, and risk of point contact | Check available gripping area and component geometry |
| ESD suitability | Verify the complete model and workstation arrangement | Verify the complete model and workstation arrangement; geometry alone does not establish ESD properties |
Handling and Process Considerations
Very fine, sharp tips require controlled contact force. Inspect tip alignment and condition before precision work, and use a tool suited to the component rather than forcing a fine tip into a prying task. Anti-acid stainless steel is not universally resistant to every chemical; follow applicable manufacturer cleaning and material-compatibility guidance.
Anti-magnetic construction and ESD control are separate properties. Ideal-tek designates this DR configuration as ESD safe, but the actual tool, operator, gloves, and workstation still need to work within the approved ESD-control procedure. The designation is not certification for electric-shock protection or live electrical work.
The manufacturer describes the model as suitable for cleanroom use. Confirm its suitability for the specific facility and process rather than assuming a universal cleanroom classification, sterility, or cleaning compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the 4.SA.DR.0.ITU tweezers designed for?
Ideal-tek describes style 4 for delicate applications requiring a small component to be held firmly while maintaining good visibility. The tips are straight, very fine, and sharp.
Are these tweezers ESD safe?
Yes. Ideal-tek lists the DR model as ESD safe and identifies the grip material as ESD-safe thermoplastic rubber. Confirm suitability within the actual ESD-control process rather than relying on the tool designation alone.
What are the tip dimensions and overall length?
The overall length is 115 mm. Tip length is 25 mm, tip width is 0.11 mm, and tip thickness is 0.07 mm.
Is the body anti-magnetic?
Yes. It is made from SA anti-acid, anti-magnetic stainless steel with a sandblasted finish. These material properties are separate from the DR model's ESD designation.
Are these reverse-action tweezers?
No. Ideal-tek lists reverse action as no. Select a reverse-action model if that holding mechanism is required.
Can these be used in a cleanroom?
The manufacturer describes them as suitable for cleanroom use. Assess the exact facility's contamination, cleaning, and material requirements before qualification; this description does not establish a specific room classification or sterile status.
