Aven Tools 18049EGS EZ Grip Micro-Serrated Tweezers Stainless Steel, #2A Pattern
Aven Tools 18049EGS EZ Grip Micro-Serrated Tweezers Stainless Steel, #2A Pattern
The Aven Tools 18049EGS EZ Grip micro-serrated tweezers combine wide rounded #2A tips with textured contact surfaces for controlled small-part handling. Made from anti-acid, anti-magnetic 304 stainless steel with a polished finish, this model offers a rounded-tip alternative to sharp-point tweezers.
When a part is difficult to hold with fingers, micro-serrated tips help maintain a grip during positioning. The 118 mm overall length and approximately 25 mm tip length provide a compact bench-tool configuration, while diamond-pattern knurling supports comfortable finger control.
Key Features
- #2A wide rounded tips: Designed for part handling rather than fine sharp-point access.
- Micro-serrated contact: Textured tips help grip small objects.
- EZ Grip handle: Diamond-pattern, cross-hatch knurling for comfort and control.
- 304 stainless steel: Listed as anti-acid and anti-magnetic.
- Polished finish: The finish specified for the 18049EGS.
- Compact dimensions: 118 mm overall length with an approximately 25 mm tip.
Best Uses / Applications
- Small-part assembly: Picking up and positioning parts where rounded tips and textured contact suit the task.
- Inspection benches: Holding and turning small items for visual examination.
- Repair and prototyping: Manipulating small hardware and parts that are difficult to hold by hand.
- Modelmaking: Positioning detail parts when wide rounded tips are preferred over a sharp point.
Rounded tips do not guarantee mark-free handling. Evaluate serrations and gripping force before using them on delicate surfaces. For ESD-sensitive components, select tools with documented ESD performance required by your process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Aven 18049EGS used for?
It is a precision hand tool for gripping and positioning small parts where wide rounded tips suit the task.
What does the #2A pattern mean?
This listing identifies #2A as a wide rounded-tip pattern, distinct from tapered sharp-point or curved fine-point styles.
Why choose micro-serrated tips?
The textured contact surfaces help hold small objects securely. Assess potential marking before handling delicate parts.
Will rounded tips prevent surface damage?
Not necessarily. Serrations, gripping force and the part's material can affect its surface. Test suitability before using the tool on easily marked parts.
How does this differ from the 18049EGBLK?
The 18049EGS is listed with micro-serrated tips and a polished finish. The 18049EGBLK features a black titanium carbide PVD treatment. Both list the 2A wide rounded pattern, 118 mm overall length and approximately 25 mm tip length.
What material are these tweezers made from?
They are made from 304 stainless steel listed as anti-acid and anti-magnetic.
Are these tweezers ESD-safe?
This listing does not provide an ESD rating or certification. Anti-magnetic construction alone does not 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.
