Aven Tools 18032EGBLK EZ Grip Black Tweezers Stainless Steel, OO Pattern
Aven Tools 18032EGBLK EZ Grip Black Tweezers Stainless Steel, OO Pattern
The Aven Tools 18032EGBLK EZ Grip Black tweezers combine an OO-pattern strong tapered point with a textured handle for controlled small-part positioning. Anti-acid, anti-magnetic 304 stainless steel construction and a black titanium carbide PVD treatment make this model a practical option for assembly, inspection and precision bench work.
When a small part is difficult to position by hand, the compact 123 mm tool and approximately 5 mm tip provide a precise contact point. Diamond-pattern, cross-hatch knurling adds texture where your fingers hold the tool, supporting comfort and control.
Key Features
- OO strong tapered point: Designed for precision handling and positioning.
- EZ Grip handle: Diamond-pattern, cross-hatch knurling for comfortable finger control.
- 304 stainless steel: Listed as anti-acid and anti-magnetic.
- Titanium carbide PVD treatment: Produces the black finish and increases scratch and corrosion resistance.
- Compact dimensions: 123 mm overall length with an approximately 5 mm tip.
Best Uses / Applications
- Precision assembly: Positioning small parts where a strong tapered point is preferred.
- Inspection benches: Holding and turning small items for visual examination.
- Soldering preparation: Positioning parts before joining without treating the tool as electrically insulated or heat-rated.
- Repair and modelmaking: Manipulating small hardware and detail parts that are difficult to hold with fingers.
For ESD-sensitive components, select tools with documented ESD performance required by your process. Anti-magnetic construction alone does not establish an ESD rating.

Choosing an EZ Grip Tweezer Style
| Style | Selection Guidance |
|---|---|
| 18032EGBLK OO Black | Strong tapered point with black titanium carbide PVD treatment for increased scratch and corrosion resistance. |
| 18032EGS OO Micro-Serrated | Consider when textured tip contact is preferred for gripping small objects. |
| 65A angled fine-point tweezers | Consider when an angled approach better suits access to the part. |
| 66 tapered fine-point tweezers | Consider when a longer fine-tip configuration better suits detailed positioning. |
| Verified ESD-rated tweezers | Choose when your process requires documented ESD tool performance. |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Aven 18032EGBLK used for?
It is a precision tweezer for holding and positioning small parts during assembly, inspection, repair and soldering preparation.
What does OO pattern mean?
The OO pattern tapers to a strong point. The existing specification table also identifies this pattern as 00.
Are these solid titanium tweezers?
No. The body is 304 stainless steel. Titanium carbide refers to the PVD surface treatment, not the base material.
What does the black finish provide?
The titanium carbide Physical Vapor Deposition process creates the black finish and increases resistance to scratching and corrosion. It does not make the tool damage-proof.
How does this model differ from the 18032EGS?
The 18032EGBLK emphasizes the black titanium carbide PVD treatment. The 18032EGS is identified as the OO micro-serrated model for textured gripping contact. Both list 123 mm overall length and approximately 5 mm tip length.
Are these tweezers ESD-safe?
This listing does not provide an ESD rating or certification. Anti-magnetic stainless steel and a black finish do not, by themselves, establish ESD-safe performance.
What is the benefit of 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.
