Aven Tools 18056EGBLK EZ Grip Black Tweezers Stainless Steel, #3C Pattern
Aven Tools 18056EGBLK EZ Grip Black Tweezers Stainless Steel, #3C Pattern
The Aven Tools 18056EGBLK EZ Grip Black tweezers combine a compact #3C strong tapered-point design with a textured handle for controlled small-part positioning. Made from anti-acid, anti-magnetic 304 stainless steel, this precision hand tool supports assembly, inspection and soldering preparation.
A titanium carbide PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) treatment creates the black finish and increases scratch and corrosion resistance. When a small part is difficult to hold by hand, the tapered point provides precise contact, while diamond-pattern knurling supports comfortable finger control. This model measures 113 mm overall with approximately 20 mm tips.
Key Features
- #3C strong tapered point: Designed for precision handling and positioning.
- Compact configuration: 113 mm overall length with approximately 20 mm tips.
- EZ Grip handle: Diamond-pattern, cross-hatch knurling for 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.
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 tweezers as insulated or heat-rated.
- Repair and modelmaking: Handling small hardware and detail parts that are difficult to manipulate by hand.
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 18056EGBLK used for?
It is a precision tweezer for holding and positioning small parts during assembly, inspection, repair and soldering preparation.
What does the #3C pattern mean?
This listing identifies #3C as a strong tapered-point design, with a compact 113 mm overall length and approximately 20 mm tip length.
How does this differ from the 18053EGBLK #3?
The 18056EGBLK #3C measures 113 mm overall with approximately 20 mm tips. The 18053EGBLK #3 measures 138 mm overall with approximately 10 mm tips. Both list strong tapered points and black PVD treatment.
How does this differ from the 18056EGS?
The 18056EGBLK features black titanium carbide PVD treatment. The 18056EGS is identified as the polished micro-serrated #3C model. Both list 113 mm overall length and approximately 20 mm tips.
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 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.
