Aven Tools 18062USA Tweezers, Pattern 5-SA, Straight Tapered Ultra Fine Point, Anti-Magnetic Stainless Steel
Aven Tools 18062USA — Tweezers, Pattern 5-SA, Straight Tapered Ultra Fine Point, Anti-Magnetic Stainless Steel
The Aven Tools 18062USA is a Pattern 5-SA precision tweezer with a straight, tapered ultra fine point tip machined from anti-magnetic stainless steel. The 5-SA tip geometry provides the narrow profile and sharp point needed for accurate placement and retrieval of 0201, 0402, 0603, and smaller SMD components, fine wire, and delicate parts in electronics assembly, PCB rework, and laboratory work. Sold individually.

Key Features
- Pattern 5-SA Tip Geometry: Straight tapered ultra fine point provides direct line-of-sight for precise component placement and retrieval without obstruction.
- Anti-Magnetic Stainless Steel: Does not generate or retain a magnetic field — safe for handling magnetic-sensitive components including sensors, reed switches, and precision electromechanical parts.
- Ultra Fine Point: Suitable for the most demanding fine-pitch SMD work including 0201 and smaller passives, fine wire, and micro-optic components.
- Made in USA.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the 18062USA use anti-magnetic stainless steel?
Anti-magnetic stainless steel ensures the tweezers do not generate or retain a magnetic field. This is important when handling magnetic-sensitive components such as certain sensors, reed switches, and precision electromechanical parts. Standard steel tweezers can become magnetized over time and attract or disturb sensitive components during placement.
What SMD component sizes can the Pattern 5-SA handle?
The 5-SA ultra fine straight tapered point is suited for 0201, 0402, and 0603 passives and smaller. The narrow tip profile provides the precision needed to pick and place small SMD components without bridging adjacent pads or damaging neighboring components.
How should I maintain the 18062USA tweezers?
Wipe tips with IPA and a lint-free wipe after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the tip surface. Store with tip protectors when not in use to prevent tip damage. Do not use the tweezers to pry or lever components — the ultra fine tips can be damaged by lateral force.
