Aven Tools 18072TTB Titanium Blue Tweezers, Pattern #7
Aven Tools 18072TTB Titanium Blue Tweezers, Pattern #7
The Aven Tools 18072TTB Titanium Blue Tweezers feature Pattern 7 tips that curve to a very fine point for precise handling in tight spaces and narrow areas. The 117 mm titanium body is lightweight and non-magnetic, while the blue titanium oxide PVD finish adds corrosion resistance and durability. With approximately 15 mm tips, this model provides a different access profile from the angled Pattern 6 and extended angled Pattern 5B. Each pair is handcrafted and individually inspected under a microscope.
Best Uses / Applications
- Confined-space component handling: Reach small parts in narrow areas where a curved tip suits the approach path.
- Precision electronics assembly: Position and retrieve small components using the very fine points.
- Microscope-assisted bench work: Manipulate small items during detailed assembly or visual inspection.
- Magnetically sensitive handling: Use non-magnetic titanium when tool magnetism could interfere with the workpiece or process.
- Silicon-chip industry tasks: Consider the tool for precise handling, subject to your process and contamination-control requirements.
Key Features
- Pattern 7 curved tips taper to a very fine point.
- Approximately 15 mm tip length supports access in tight and narrow areas.
- Titanium construction combines lightweight handling with strength.
- Non-magnetic material supports handling involving magnetic materials or magnetic fields.
- Blue titanium oxide PVD, Physical Vapor Deposition, finish provides additional corrosion resistance.
- Handcrafted and individually inspected under a microscope.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Aven 18072TTB?
It is a Pattern 7 titanium precision tweezer with curved very fine tips and a blue titanium oxide PVD finish.
Why choose a curved Pattern 7 tip?
The curve provides an approach angle for tight spaces and narrow areas. Choose it when that profile suits the position of the part you need to handle.
How long are the tweezers and tips?
Overall length is 117 mm (4.6 inches), and the listed tip length is approximately 15 mm.
Are they magnetic?
No. The supplied product information identifies the titanium material as non-magnetic.
What is the purpose of the blue finish?
The titanium oxide Physical Vapor Deposition process produces the blue finish and adds corrosion resistance and durability.
Are these tweezers ESD rated?
The supplied listing does not specify an ESD rating or electrical resistance range. Non-magnetic titanium and the PVD finish do not establish ESD protection.
Are they certified for a cleanroom class?
No specific cleanroom class or particle-release test is supplied. Qualify the tool for your process rather than assuming certified or guaranteed particle-free performance.
Where are they made, and how are they inspected?
The listed country of origin is Pakistan. Each pair is handcrafted and individually inspected under a microscope.
Handling Guidance
Use the very fine tips for controlled small-part handling. Avoid prying, twisting or excessive squeezing that could damage tip alignment or the workpiece.
