Aven Tools 18056EGS EZ Grip Micro-Serrated Tweezers Stainless Steel, #3C Pattern
Aven Tools 18056EGS EZ Grip Micro-Serrated Tweezers Stainless Steel, #3C Pattern
The Aven Tools 18056EGS EZ Grip micro-serrated tweezers combine a #3C strong tapered point with textured tips for controlled small-part handling. Made from anti-acid, anti-magnetic 304 stainless steel, this polished precision hand tool supports assembly, inspection and soldering preparation.
When a small part slips during positioning, micro-serrated contact surfaces help maintain a secure hold. The compact 113 mm overall length, approximately 20 mm tip length and diamond-pattern knurled grip provide a distinct configuration for detailed bench work.
Key Features
- Micro-serrated tips: Textured contact surfaces help grip small objects.
- #3C pattern: Tapers to a strong point for precision positioning.
- EZ Grip handle: Diamond-pattern, cross-hatch knurling supports comfort and finger control.
- 304 stainless steel: Listed as anti-acid and anti-magnetic.
- Polished finish: Stainless steel finish as listed in the specifications.
- Compact dimensions: 113 mm overall length with an approximately 20 mm tip.
Best Uses / Applications
- Precision assembly: Picking up and positioning small parts where a strong tapered point and textured contact are appropriate.
- Inspection benches: Holding and turning small items for visual examination.
- Soldering preparation: Positioning 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 hold with fingers.
Evaluate serrated tips before using them on easily marked surfaces. For ESD-sensitive components, select tools with documented ESD performance required by your process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Aven 18056EGS used for?
It is a precision tweezer for gripping and positioning small parts during assembly, inspection, repair and soldering preparation.
What does the #3C pattern mean?
This model uses a strong tapered-point #3C pattern, with a 113 mm overall length and approximately 20 mm tip length.
Why choose micro-serrated tips?
The textured tips help hold small objects securely. For delicate surfaces, consider smooth tips and assess potential marking on a sample part.
How does the 18056EGS differ from the 18032EGS?
Both are micro-serrated strong tapered-point models. The 18056EGS uses the #3C pattern with 113 mm overall length and approximately 20 mm tips. The 18032EGS uses the OO pattern with 123 mm overall length and approximately 5 mm tips.
What material and finish does it have?
The 18056EGS is made from anti-acid, anti-magnetic 304 stainless steel with a polished finish.
Are these tweezers ESD-safe?
This listing does not provide an ESD rating or certification. Anti-magnetic stainless steel alone does not establish ESD-safe performance.
What is different about the EZ Grip handle?
Its diamond-pattern, cross-hatch knurled surface adds texture at the finger-contact area for comfort and control during detailed work.
