IDEAL-TEK 2.SA.0.ITU High Precision Tweezers 2.SA,SS Anti-Mag
IDEAL-TEK 2.SA.0.ITU High Precision Tweezers 2.SA,SS Anti-Mag
The Ideal-tek 2.SA.0.ITU high precision tweezers feature straight, very fine, pointed tips for delicate applications that require holding a small component firmly while maintaining good visibility. Their 120 mm body combines anti-magnetic, anti-acid stainless steel (SA) with a sandblasted finish. The very fine tip profile and manufacturer's superior tip finish support controlled small-part positioning without a bulky gripping point obscuring the work area.
Best Uses / Applications
Consider Type 2 for precision assembly, laboratory handling, inspection and repair tasks where very fine pointed tips and visibility are priorities. Match the tip dimensions to the component and use light, controlled pressure. Avoid prying or bending loads on the fine tips. This model is explicitly designated not ESD safe; select an ESD-rated alternative when your handling process requires one.

Type 2 vs. Type 1 Precision Tweezers
| Feature | Type 2, this listing | Type 1, 1.SA.0 |
|---|---|---|
| Tip description | Straight, very fine, pointed | Straight, fine, pointed |
| Tip width | 0.13 mm | 0.13 mm |
| Tip thickness | 0.07 mm | 0.11 mm |
| Overall length | 120 mm | 120 mm |

Type 2 has the thinner specified tip profile in this comparison. Choose according to access, component size and handling requirements rather than treating fine tips as a substitute for stronger gripping tools.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Type 2 intended for?
Ideal-tek describes Type 2 as suitable for delicate applications requiring a small component to be held firmly while maintaining good visibility.
What are the tip dimensions?
Tip width is 0.13 mm (0.005 in), tip thickness is 0.07 mm (0.003 in), and the vendor page lists a 30 mm (1.181 in) tip length.
Is this model ESD safe?
No. Ideal-tek explicitly lists ESD safe as no. Anti-magnetic stainless steel does not establish an ESD-safe rating.
How does Type 2 differ from Type 1?
Both compared models have straight, pointed tips and a 120 mm overall length. Type 2 is described as very fine and has a 0.07 mm specified tip thickness, compared with 0.11 mm for Type 1.
What does SA mean?
SA is the manufacturer's designation for anti-magnetic, anti-acid stainless steel. This model has a sandblasted body finish.
Is it reverse action, and where is it made?
No, this is a standard-action tweezer, not reverse action. The manufacturer datasheet lists Switzerland as the country of manufacture.
