Ideal-tek MPTSP6 Probe - Flat tip. OAL: 155mm, 6.10in
The Ideal-tek MPTSP6 is a single-ended stainless steel flat-tip probe for controlled scraping and auxiliary assembly work. Its 155 mm length and knurled, rounded handle support access and grip during inspection, soldering support and adhesive work. This is a probe, not tweezers, and Ideal-tek explicitly identifies it as not ESD safe.
Best Uses / Applications
- Controlled scraping of suitable hard components after checking surface tolerance.
- Mechanical inspection and electronics rework where a flat contact surface is useful.
- Auxiliary positioning and adhesive work under an approved assembly procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is MPTSP6 ESD safe?
No. Do not substitute it for a qualified ESD-safe tool when handling static-sensitive parts.
Is this a pair of tweezers?
No. It is a single-ended flat-tip probe.
What is the tip width?
Ideal-tek lists 2.20 mm.
What is its exact tip thickness?
The manufacturer product page and dimensions leaflet differ: 0.50 mm versus 0.70 mm. Confirm the current supplied version for clearance-critical work.
Can it scratch a delicate surface?
Yes. A steel scraping tip can damage coatings, traces or soft parts. Check the process and use controlled force.
Does stainless steel mean maintenance-free?
No. Clean and dry the tool using methods compatible with the material; avoid assuming universal corrosion or chemical resistance.
