Aven Tools 18049EGBLK EZ Grip Black Tweezers Stainless Steel, 2A Pattern
Aven Tools 18049EGBLK EZ Grip Black Tweezers Stainless Steel, 2A Pattern
The Aven Tools 18049EGBLK EZ Grip Black tweezers feature wide rounded 2A-pattern tips for handling small parts. Made from anti-acid, anti-magnetic 304 stainless steel, this model combines a diamond-pattern knurled grip with a black titanium carbide PVD treatment for increased scratch and corrosion resistance.
When a sharp point is not the preferred contact shape, the wide rounded tips offer a different way to hold and position a part. The compact 118 mm overall length and approximately 25 mm tip length provide a practical configuration for assembly and inspection bench work.
Key Features
- 2A wide rounded tips: Designed for part handling rather than fine sharp-point access.
- Serrated contact: The existing product information identifies serrated tips for gripping small objects.
- EZ Grip handle: Diamond-pattern, cross-hatch knurling supports comfort and finger control.
- 304 stainless steel: Listed as anti-acid and anti-magnetic.
- Titanium carbide PVD treatment: Physical Vapor Deposition creates the black finish and increases scratch and corrosion resistance.
- Compact dimensions: 118 mm overall length with an approximately 25 mm tip.
Best Uses / Applications
- Small-part assembly: Picking up and positioning parts where wide rounded contact is appropriate.
- Inspection benches: Holding and turning small items for visual examination.
- Repair and prototyping: Manipulating small hardware and parts that are difficult to hold with fingers.
- Modelmaking: Positioning detail parts when rounded tips are preferred over a sharp point.
Rounded tips do not guarantee mark-free handling; evaluate the contact surface and gripping force on delicate parts. This listing does not establish an ESD rating, electrical insulation or a temperature rating.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Aven 18049EGBLK used for?
It is a precision hand tool for holding and positioning small parts where wide rounded tips suit the task.
What does the 2A pattern mean?
This listing identifies the 2A pattern as wide rounded tips, distinct from tapered sharp-point or curved fine-point styles.
Will rounded tips prevent marks on delicate parts?
Not necessarily. Surface condition, gripping force and serrated contact can affect the part. Test suitability before handling easily marked surfaces.
How long are the tweezers and tips?
The overall length is 4.64 inches / 118 mm. Tip length is approximately 25 mm.
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 stainless steel 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.
