Aven Tools 18066EGBLK EZ Grip Black Tweezers Stainless Steel, 5B Pattern
Aven Tools 18066EGBLK EZ Grip Black Tweezers Stainless Steel, 5B Pattern
The Aven Tools 18066EGBLK EZ Grip Black tweezers feature a 5B pattern with an extended tip that angles to a very fine point for working in tight, narrow areas. Serrated tips help grip small objects, while the diamond-pattern knurled handle supports comfortable finger control during detailed positioning.
Made from anti-acid, anti-magnetic 304 stainless steel, this model receives a titanium carbide PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) treatment for a black finish and increased scratch and corrosion resistance. When access around a small part is limited, the angled tip provides an alternative approach to a straight-point tool.
Key Features
- 5B angled very fine point: Extended-tip design for access in tight and narrow areas.
- Serrated tips: Textured contact surfaces help grip small parts.
- EZ Grip handle: Diamond-pattern, cross-hatch knurling provides texture 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.
- Compact dimensions: 121 mm overall length and approximately 10 mm tip length.
Best Uses / Applications
- Confined-area assembly: Positioning small parts where an angled very fine point helps access tight spaces.
- Inspection benches: Holding and turning small items for visual examination.
- Electronics repair and soldering preparation: Positioning suitable small parts before joining or during detailed bench work.
- Modelmaking: Handling small detail parts in narrow assemblies.
Evaluate serrated tips before using them on 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 18066EGBLK used for?
It is a precision tweezer for gripping and positioning small parts, particularly where tight or narrow areas benefit from an angled very fine point.
What does the 5B pattern mean?
The 5B pattern features an extended tip that angles to a very fine point. This model lists an approximately 10 mm tip length.
Are the tips serrated?
Yes. The product information identifies serrated tips for gripping small objects. Assess potential marking before handling delicate surfaces.
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 treatment provide?
The Physical Vapor Deposition process produces the black finish and increases resistance to scratching and corrosion. It does not make the tool damage-proof.
How does this differ from the 18076EGBLK?
The 18066EGBLK uses the 5B angled very fine-point pattern with 121 mm overall length and approximately 10 mm tips. The 18076EGBLK uses the 65A angled fine-point pattern with 138 mm overall length and approximately 5 mm tips.
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 knurling adds texture to the finger-contact area for comfort and control during detailed work.
