IDEAL-TEK 0C9.SA.0.ITU High Precision Tweezers Stainless Steel Anti-Mag
IDEAL-TEK 0C9.SA.0.ITU High Precision Tweezers Stainless Steel Anti-Mag
Ideal-tek 0C9.SA.0.ITU high precision tweezers are compact, 90 mm tools with straight, fine, sharp tips for delicate small-component handling. The short body is designed to provide a firm grip while maintaining good visibility of the workpiece. Swiss-made SA anti-magnetic, anti-acid stainless steel and a sandblasted, superior finish support precision bench work.
ESD selection note: Ideal-tek explicitly lists this model as not ESD-safe. Anti-magnetic stainless steel does not establish ESD-safe performance.
Best Uses / Applications
- Delicate assembly and positioning of small components where tip access and workpiece visibility matter.
- Electronics-related mechanical handling where a non-ESD-safe tool is permitted by the process.
- Watchmaking and jewelry bench work requiring compact, fine-point handling.
- Laboratory manipulation of small items in chemically compatible environments.
- Precision inspection and positioning tasks that benefit from a short tweezer body.
Key Features
- Compact 90 mm overall length for close-control handling.
- Straight, fine, sharp style 0C9 tips.
- Tip width of 0.14 mm and thickness of 0.08 mm for access to small features.
- SA stainless steel combines corrosion resistance and toughness.
- Sandblasted body with the manufacturer's superior finish designation.
- Conventional action, not reverse action.
- Made in Switzerland, per the product datasheet.

SA Stainless Steel: Material Selection
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 typical uses in electronics, watchmaking, jewelry and laboratory applications. “Anti-acid” does not mean resistance to every chemical or unlimited exposure. Confirm compatibility with the actual agents and conditions used in your process.
Comparison: Selecting the Right Tweezer Geometry
| Option | Selection priority | Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| 0C9.SA.0.ITU, 90 mm with fine, sharp tips | Compact handling of small components with good visibility | Fine points call for controlled force; do not use them as prying tools |
| Thick, strong gripping tips | A sturdier gripping profile for the workpiece | Check whether the broader tips provide the required access |
| Longer tweezer body | Tasks requiring more reach | Evaluate overall length, hand position and visibility for the operation |
| Documented ESD-safe model | Handling that requires ESD-safe tools | This SA model is not manufacturer-designated ESD-safe |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 0C9 model designed for?
It is intended for delicate applications requiring a firm hold on a small component with good visibility. The short body supports practical close-control handling.
How long are these tweezers?
Overall length is 90 mm, approximately 3.543 inches. Manufacturer-listed product width and height are 8 mm and 9 mm.
What are the tip dimensions?
The straight, fine, sharp tips are listed at 0.14 mm wide and 0.08 mm thick. The listed tip-opening gap is 6 mm.
Are these tweezers ESD-safe?
No. Ideal-tek lists this model as not ESD-safe. Its anti-magnetic SA material should not be treated as an ESD-safe designation.
What does SA mean?
SA is Ideal-tek's anti-magnetic, anti-acid stainless steel designation. The manufacturer's material sheet identifies low-carbon austenitic stainless steel, material number 1.4435 / AISI 316L.
Are these reverse-action tweezers?
No. They use conventional action; the manufacturer lists reverse action as “no.”
Should I use these fine tips for prying or bending parts?
Choose them for controlled precision handling rather than levering or forceful bending. Their fine-point geometry should be matched to the workpiece and applied load.
Where are they made, and what documents are available?
The manufacturer product datasheet states Switzerland. Both the product datasheet and the SA stainless steel material sheet are linked below.
