Aven Tools 18072EGBLK EZ Grip Black Tweezers Stainless Steel, #7 Pattern
Aven Tools 18072EGBLK EZ Grip Black Tweezers Stainless Steel, #7 Pattern
The Aven Tools 18072EGBLK EZ Grip Black tweezers feature a #7 pattern that curves to a very fine point for working in tight spaces and narrow areas. The compact 117 mm overall length and approximately 15 mm tip length provide a curved-tip configuration for detailed small-part handling.
Made from anti-acid, anti-magnetic 304 stainless steel, this model receives a titanium carbide PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) treatment that creates the black finish and increases scratch and corrosion resistance. When a direct approach to a small part is awkward, the curved point offers another way to reach it, while the diamond-pattern knurled grip supports comfortable finger control.
Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Aven 18072EGBLK used for?
It is a precision tweezer for holding and positioning small parts, particularly in tight spaces and narrow areas that benefit from a curved very fine point.
What does the #7 pattern mean?
The #7 pattern curves to a very fine point, providing a curved approach to the workpiece rather than a straight-tip configuration.
How long are the tweezers and tips?
The overall length is 4.6 inches / 117 mm. Tip length is approximately 15 mm.
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 creates the black finish and increases resistance to scratching and corrosion. It does not make the tool damage-proof.
How does this differ from the 18069EGBLK?
The 18072EGBLK uses the #7 curved very fine-point pattern with approximately 15 mm tips. The 18069EGBLK uses pattern 6, an angled fine sharp point with approximately 10 mm tips. Both list 117 mm overall length.
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 knurled surface adds texture at the finger-contact area for comfort and control during detailed work.
