IDEAL-TEK 00D.SA.0.ITU High Precision tweezers 00D.SA, SS Anti-Mag
IDEAL-TEK 00D.SA.0.ITU High Precision tweezers 00D.SA, SS Anti-Mag
Ideal-tek 00D.SA.0.ITU high precision tweezers combine strong, straight, squared tips with line serrations on both the gripping surfaces and handles. Designed for tasks requiring a firm hold on a component, this 120 mm Swiss-made tool uses anti-magnetic, anti-acid SA stainless steel with a sandblasted, superior finish. The serrations improve grip and help reduce slipping during controlled handling.
ESD selection note: Ideal-tek lists this model as not ESD-safe. Anti-magnetic stainless steel is not an ESD-safe designation.
Best Uses / Applications
- Precision assembly and bench handling where securely holding a component is the priority.
- Electronics-related mechanical handling where your process permits a non-ESD-safe tool.
- Watchmaking and jewelry work requiring strong, straight gripping tips.
- Laboratory handling in compatible, moderately aggressive chemical environments.
- Positioning parts that can tolerate contact with serrated metal surfaces.
Key Features
- Type 00D geometry with thick, squared, strong tips.
- Line-serrated tips for increased grip on the workpiece.
- Line-serrated handles for controlled finger placement.
- SA stainless steel selected for corrosion resistance and toughness.
- 120 mm overall length and an 8 mm listed tip-opening gap.
- Conventional action, not reverse action.
- Made in Switzerland, per the manufacturer product datasheet.

Understanding SA Stainless Steel
Ideal-tek identifies SA as low-carbon austenitic stainless steel, material number 1.4435 / AISI 316L. Its material sheet describes good corrosion resistance to most chemicals, salts and acids, with toughness and corrosion resistance as primary selection factors. This does not mean compatibility with every chemical or immunity to corrosion. Confirm suitability for your actual cleaning agents, concentration and exposure conditions.
Comparison: Serrated, Smooth or Fine Tips?
| Tool choice | Best selection reason | Trade-off to consider |
|---|---|---|
| 00D.SA.0.ITU serrated, thick tips | Firm component grip with strong straight tips and extra handle traction | Serrations may mark delicate finishes; evaluate contact pressure |
| Smooth gripping tips | A task calls for an unserrated contact surface | Consider the workpiece's tendency to slip and the exact tip geometry |
| Fine pointed tips | Access to a small feature is more important than a broad, strong gripping profile | Choose the appropriate point size and avoid substituting thick tips for restricted access |
| Documented ESD-safe tweezers | The handling process requires an ESD-safe tool | This 00D.SA.0 model is not designated ESD-safe |

Frequently Asked Questions
What distinguishes the 00D model?
It has strong, thick, straight, squared tips with line serrations on both the tips and handles. Ideal-tek specifies it for applications requiring a very firm component hold.
Are the gripping tips serrated or smooth?
The tip gripping surfaces are line serrated. The handles are also line serrated for additional finger grip.
Is 00D.SA.0.ITU ESD-safe?
No. The manufacturer explicitly lists this model as not ESD-safe. Do not infer ESD suitability from the anti-magnetic material description.
What are the length and tip dimensions?
Overall length is 120 mm. Tip width is 0.90 mm, tip thickness is 0.50 mm, and the manufacturer lists an 8 mm tip-opening gap.
What does SA mean?
SA is Ideal-tek's anti-magnetic, anti-acid stainless steel designation. The material sheet identifies low-carbon austenitic stainless steel, material number 1.4435 / AISI 316L.
Can serrated tips mark a delicate part?
They can leave contact marks depending on the workpiece and pressure. Choose this geometry for grip, and evaluate a smooth-tip alternative when an unmarked finish is the priority.
Are these reverse-action tweezers?
No. The manufacturer lists reverse action as “no”; they are conventional-action tweezers.
Where are they made, and which documents are available?
The product datasheet states Switzerland. The product datasheet and SA material technical data sheet are linked below.
