IDEAL-TEK A71MZ Kit of 2 Ceramic Tips and 3 Screws - Tips: Straight, Fine, Beveled
IDEAL-TEK A71MZ Kit of 2 Ceramic Tips and 3 Screws - Tips: Straight, Fine, Beveled
Ideal-tek A71MZ is a replacement kit containing two MZ ceramic tips and three screws for type 71MZ tweezers, identified by the manufacturer as fitting #71MZ.SA. Its straight, fine, beveled tips are intended for holding small components firmly. This is a replacement-tip kit, not a complete tweezer; a tweezer body is not included.
Best Uses / Applications
- Replacing ceramic tips on compatible type 71MZ tweezers.
- Precision handling and assembly of small components suited to the style 71 geometry.
- Laboratory and industrial handling where MZ ceramic hardness and environmental resistance fit the process.
- Applications involving elevated temperatures or aggressive environments after confirming material and complete-tool suitability.
Key Features
- Two ceramic tips and three screws supplied in the kit.
- MZ tip material identified as Zirconia Toughened Alumina in the product data sheet.
- Straight, fine, beveled style 71 tips.
- Manufacturer describes exceptional hardness and resistance to high temperatures and aggressive environments.
- Not ESD-safe; do not substitute for a verified static-dissipative tip specification.
- Swiss-made according to the product data sheet.

Width follows the current manufacturer page and product PDF: 6.8 mm, rather than the 7.0 mm shown in an older sheet. No numeric maximum operating temperature is specified here; verify the material data and complete assembly requirements for your process.
Replacement Kit vs. Complete Tweezers
| Selection question | A71MZ kit | Other selection consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Need replacement tips or a new tool? | Includes two tips and three screws only | A complete tweezer is required if you do not have a compatible body. |
| Which fit is supported? | Type 71MZ / #71MZ.SA | Do not assume other tip styles are interchangeable. |
| Which geometry suits the component? | Straight, fine, beveled tips for small-component holding | Choose another geometry when the component shape or access requires it. |
| Does the process require ESD-safe tips? | Manufacturer lists ESD safe as no | Use a separately verified ESD-safe tip and compatible tool specification. |
Selection & Handling Guidance
Confirm the existing tweezer model before ordering. Follow the manufacturer's replacement instructions for mounting and alignment. Match the tip geometry to the component, and validate temperature and chemical exposure for the complete assembly. Hardness does not mean a ceramic tip is suitable for prying or every handling load.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is A71MZ a complete pair of tweezers?
No. The kit includes two ceramic replacement tips and three screws. The complete tweezer body is not included.
Which tweezers does the kit fit?
The manufacturer specifies type 71MZ tweezers and identifies #71MZ.SA. Confirm your exact model before ordering.
What are these tips intended to hold?
The manufacturer describes firm holding of small components using straight, fine, beveled style 71 tips.
Is A71MZ ESD-safe?
No. The manufacturer lists ESD safe as no. Do not infer static-dissipative performance from ceramic material alone.
What is MZ ceramic?
The product data sheet identifies MZ as Zirconia Toughened Alumina. Consult the material data sheet for detailed properties.
What are the tip dimensions?
The tips are specified at 0.70 mm wide and 0.60 mm thick. The replacement product's listed OAL is 45 mm, width 6.8 mm and height 2.5 mm.
Can it be used at any high temperature or with every chemical?
No. The manufacturer's general resistance statement is not an unrestricted service rating. Verify the exact exposure and complete tool requirements.
Is the embedded tutorial specific to A71MZ?
No. It is Ideal-tek's general replaceable plastic and ceramic tip tweezer tutorial, provided as family-level guidance.
