Aven Tools 18013TTB Titanium Blue Tweezers, Pattern AA
Aven Tools 18013TTB Titanium Blue Tweezers, Pattern AA
The Aven Tools 18013TTB Titanium Blue Tweezers feature a Pattern AA profile that tapers to a strong point for precision assembly, inspection and component positioning. The 121 mm titanium body combines lightweight handling with non-magnetic properties, while approximately 10 mm tips provide a strong-point alternative to angled or curved very-fine-point patterns. The blue titanium oxide PVD finish adds corrosion resistance and durability. 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 task.
- Electronics inspection: Orient components during detailed visual checks and 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 18013TTB?
It is a Pattern AA 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 121 mm (4.76 inches), and tip length is approximately 10 mm.
How does Pattern AA differ from Pattern OO?
Both supplied profiles taper to a strong point. Pattern AA is 121 mm long with approximately 10 mm tips, while Pattern OO is 123 mm long 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 component 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.
