Aven Tools 18066TTB Titanium Blue Tweezers, Pattern #5B
Aven Tools 18066TTB Titanium Blue Tweezers, Pattern #5B
The Aven Tools 18066TTB Titanium Blue Tweezers use a Pattern 5B tip with an extended, angled profile that narrows to a very fine point for access in tight areas. Made from lightweight, non-magnetic titanium, these precision tweezers feature a blue titanium oxide PVD finish that adds corrosion resistance and durability. Each pair is handcrafted and individually inspected under a microscope. At 121 mm overall length, with an approximately 10 mm tip, the 18066TTB is designed for detailed handling rather than heavy-duty gripping or prying.
Best Uses / Applications
- Silicon-chip and precision electronics work: Handle small parts where a very fine point and controlled placement are important.
- Access in narrow assembly areas: Use the extended angled 5B tips to reach small parts in confined spaces.
- Magnetically sensitive handling: Choose non-magnetic titanium when tool magnetism could interfere with the workpiece or process.
- Microscope-assisted assembly and inspection: Position or retrieve small items during detailed bench work.
- Contamination-sensitive handling: Consider titanium construction where material selection and particle control are priorities, subject to your process qualification requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Aven 18066TTB?
It is a titanium precision tweezer with a blue titanium oxide PVD finish and Pattern 5B angled, very fine tips.
What makes Pattern 5B useful?
The extended tips angle to a very fine point, providing access for small-part handling in tight or narrow areas.
Are these tweezers magnetic?
No. The supplied product information identifies the titanium construction as non-magnetic, useful where tool magnetism could affect handling.
What does the blue PVD finish do?
The blue finish is produced through a titanium oxide Physical Vapor Deposition process. Aven identifies additional corrosion resistance and durability as benefits of this finish.
Are the 18066TTB tweezers ESD rated?
The supplied listing does not specify an ESD rating or electrical resistance range. Do not treat non-magnetic titanium or the blue finish as proof of ESD protection.
Are they certified for a specific cleanroom class?
No specific cleanroom class or particle-release test is provided in the supplied listing. Qualify the tool against your process requirements rather than assuming a certification.
What are the dimensions and country of origin?
Overall length is 121 mm (4.76 inches), tip length is approximately 10 mm, and the listed country of origin is Pakistan.
Can I use the fine tips for prying or heavy gripping?
These are precision handling tips. Avoid prying, bending or excessive force that could damage tip alignment and the workpiece.
