Aven Tools 18053EGBLK EZ Grip Black Tweezers Stainless Steel, #3 Pattern
Aven Tools 18053EGBLK EZ Grip Black Tweezers Stainless Steel, #3 Pattern
The Aven Tools 18053EGBLK EZ Grip Black tweezers combine a #3 strong tapered point with a diamond-pattern knurled handle for controlled small-part positioning. Made from anti-acid, anti-magnetic 304 stainless steel, this precision tool supports assembly, inspection and soldering preparation.
The black titanium carbide PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) treatment increases scratch and corrosion resistance. At the workbench, the 138 mm overall length and approximately 10 mm tip length provide a longer configuration than the AA and OO models compared below, while cross-hatch knurling adds texture where your fingers hold the tool.
Key Features
- #3 strong tapered point: Designed for precision handling and positioning.
- Serrated tips: Identified in the existing product information for gripping small objects.
- EZ Grip handle: Diamond-pattern, cross-hatch knurling supports 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.
- Dimensions: 138 mm overall length with approximately 10 mm tips.
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 tool as insulated or heat-rated.
- Repair and modelmaking: Handling small hardware and detail parts that are difficult to manipulate by hand.
Evaluate serrated contact before handling easily marked surfaces. This listing does not establish an ESD rating, electrical insulation or a temperature rating; select documented tool performance when your process requires it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Aven 18053EGBLK used for?
It is a precision tweezer for gripping and positioning small parts during assembly, inspection, repair and soldering preparation.
What does the #3 pattern mean?
This listing identifies #3 as a strong tapered-point pattern. This model measures 138 mm overall with approximately 10 mm tips.
How does this differ from the AA model?
The 18053EGBLK #3 measures 138 mm overall, compared with 121 mm for the 18013EGBLK AA. Both list strong tapered points and approximately 10 mm tip lengths.
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 PVD 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.
