Aven Tools 18013EGBLK EZ Grip Black Tweezers Stainless Steel, AA Pattern
Aven Tools 18013EGBLK EZ Grip Black Tweezers Stainless Steel, AA Pattern
The Aven Tools 18013EGBLK EZ Grip Black tweezers combine an AA-pattern strong tapered point with a textured handle for controlled small-part positioning. Made from anti-acid, anti-magnetic 304 stainless steel, this compact precision tool supports assembly, inspection and soldering preparation.
A titanium carbide PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) treatment creates the black finish and increases scratch and corrosion resistance. When a small part is difficult to hold with fingers, the tapered point provides precise contact, while diamond-pattern knurling supports comfortable finger control.
Key Features
- AA strong tapered point: Designed for precision handling and positioning.
- EZ Grip handle: Diamond-pattern, cross-hatch knurling for comfort and control.
- 304 stainless steel: Listed as anti-acid and anti-magnetic.
- Titanium carbide PVD treatment: Black surface treatment increases scratch and corrosion resistance.
- Compact dimensions: 121 mm overall length with an approximately 10 mm tip.
Best Uses / Applications
- Precision assembly: Picking up and positioning small parts where a strong tapered point is preferred.
- Inspection benches: Holding and turning small items for visual examination.
- Soldering preparation: Positioning suitable parts before joining, without treating the tweezers as insulated or heat-rated.
- Repair and modelmaking: Handling small hardware and detail parts that are difficult to manipulate by hand.
For ESD-sensitive components, select tools with documented ESD performance required by your process. This listing does not establish an ESD rating, electrical insulation or a temperature rating.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Aven 18013EGBLK used for?
It is a precision tweezer for holding and positioning small parts during assembly, inspection, repair and soldering preparation.
What does AA pattern mean?
The AA pattern tapers to a strong point. This model lists a 121 mm overall length and approximately 10 mm tip length.
How does this differ from the 18032EGBLK OO?
Both are listed with strong tapered points and black PVD treatment. The AA model measures 121 mm overall with approximately 10 mm tips; the OO model measures 123 mm overall with approximately 5 mm tips.
Are these solid titanium tweezers?
No. The body is 304 stainless steel. Titanium carbide describes the PVD surface treatment, not the base material.
What does the black finish provide?
The Physical Vapor Deposition process creates the black finish and increases resistance to scratching and corrosion. It does not make the tool damage-proof.
Are these tweezers ESD-safe?
This listing does not provide an ESD rating or certification. Anti-magnetic construction and a black PVD finish do not, by themselves, establish ESD-safe performance.
What is different about the EZ Grip handle?
The diamond-pattern, cross-hatch knurled surface adds texture at the finger-contact area for comfort and control during detailed work.
