Aven Tools 18032EGS EZ Grip Micro-Serrated Tweezers Stainless Steel, OO Pattern
Aven Tools 18032EGS EZ Grip Micro-Serrated Tweezers Stainless Steel, OO Pattern
The Aven Tools 18032EGS EZ Grip tweezers combine a strong, tapered OO-pattern point with micro-serrated tips for controlled handling of small parts. Anti-acid, anti-magnetic 304 stainless steel construction and a diamond-pattern, cross-hatch knurled grip make this precision hand tool a practical choice for assembly, inspection and bench work.
When a small part slips during positioning, textured tips can help maintain a secure hold. The 123 mm overall length and approximately 5 mm tip length provide a compact tool for detailed manual work.
Key Features
- Micro-serrated tips: Textured contact surfaces help grip small objects during positioning.
- OO pattern: Tapers to a strong point for precision handling.
- EZ Grip handle: Diamond-pattern, cross-hatch knurling supports comfort and finger control.
- 304 stainless steel: Listed as anti-acid and anti-magnetic.
- PVD treatment: Physical Vapor Deposition treatment provides additional corrosion resistance.
Best Uses / Applications
- Electronics assembly: Positioning small mechanical parts and components where a serrated gripping surface is appropriate.
- Inspection benches: Holding and turning small parts for visual examination.
- Soldering preparation: Positioning small parts before joining, without treating the tweezers as an insulated or heat-rated tool.
- Precision hobby and repair work: Handling small hardware and other parts that are difficult to hold with fingers.
Choose smooth tips instead when surface marking is a concern. Anti-magnetic construction does not establish ESD-safe certification; use a verified ESD-rated tool when your process requires one.

Micro-Serrated vs. Other Tweezer Styles
| Style | Selection Guidance |
|---|---|
| 18032EGS micro-serrated OO pattern | Choose for a textured grip and strong tapered point when handling small parts. |
| Smooth-tip tweezers | Consider for delicate surfaces where serrations could leave marks. |
| Fine-point tweezers | Consider when access and very small contact areas matter more than a strong tapered point. |
| Verified ESD-rated tweezers | Choose when an ESD-controlled process specifically requires documented tool performance. |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Aven 18032EGS used for?
It is a precision tweezer for gripping and positioning small parts during assembly, inspection, repair and related bench tasks.
What does OO pattern mean?
The OO pattern tapers to a strong point. This listing also identifies the tip style as 00 in its specifications.
Why choose micro-serrated tips?
The textured tips help hold small objects securely. For easily marked surfaces, consider a smooth-tip tool and test suitability on a sample part.
What material are these tweezers made from?
The 18032EGS is made from 304 stainless steel listed as anti-acid and anti-magnetic, with PVD treatment for additional corrosion resistance. Select cleaning chemicals appropriate for the material and finish.
How long are the tweezers?
The overall length is 4.84 inches (123 mm). Tip length is approximately 5 mm.
Are these tweezers ESD-safe?
This listing does not provide an ESD rating or certification. Anti-magnetic stainless steel is not, by itself, proof of ESD-safe performance.
What is different about the EZ Grip handle?
Its diamond-pattern, cross-hatch knurled surface provides a textured finger grip for comfort and control during detailed work.
