Aven Tools 18077EGBLK EZ Grip Black Tweezers Stainless Steel, #66 Pattern
Aven Tools 18077EGBLK EZ Grip Black Tweezers Stainless Steel, #66 Pattern
The Aven Tools 18077EGBLK EZ Grip Black tweezers feature an extended-length #66 pattern that tapers to a fine point for precision assembly, inspection and small-part handling. Serrated tips help grip objects, while the diamond-pattern knurled handle supports comfortable finger control.
Constructed from anti-acid, anti-magnetic 304 stainless steel, these tweezers receive a titanium carbide PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) treatment for a black finish and increased scratch and corrosion resistance. At the workbench, the 140 mm overall length and approximately 20 mm tip length provide a longer fine-tip configuration for detailed positioning tasks.
Key Features
- #66 tapered fine-point pattern: Extended-length design for detailed small-part handling.
- Serrated tips: Textured contact surfaces help maintain a grip on objects.
- EZ Grip handle: Diamond-pattern, cross-hatch knurling adds texture for comfort and control.
- 304 stainless steel: Listed as anti-acid and anti-magnetic.
- Titanium carbide PVD treatment: Black surface treatment increases resistance to scratches and corrosion.
- 140 mm overall length: Approximately 20 mm tip length.
Best Uses / Applications
- Precision assembly: Picking up and positioning small parts where fine-point contact and serrations are appropriate.
- Inspection benches: Holding or turning small items for visual examination.
- Soldering preparation and repair: Positioning small parts before joining or during detailed bench work.
- Modelmaking and maintenance: Manipulating small hardware and detail parts that are difficult to hold with fingers.
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 a documented tool rating when your process requires one.

Choosing a Tweezer Pattern
| Style | Selection Guidance |
|---|---|
| 18077EGBLK #66 | Tapered fine-point design with serrated tips; 140 mm overall length and approximately 20 mm tip length. |
| 18076EGBLK #65A | Angled fine-point approach; 138 mm overall length and approximately 5 mm tip length. Also features a black titanium carbide PVD treatment. |
| Strong tapered-point tweezers | Consider when a stronger point is preferred over a fine-tip configuration. |
| Smooth-tip tweezers | Consider when minimizing serration marks on delicate surfaces is important. |
| Verified ESD-rated tweezers | Choose when your process requires documented ESD tool performance. |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Aven 18077EGBLK used for?
It is a precision tweezer for gripping and positioning small parts during assembly, inspection, soldering preparation and detailed repair work.
What does the #66 pattern mean?
The #66 pattern features extended length and tapers to a fine point. This model lists a 140 mm overall length and approximately 20 mm tip length.
Are these tweezers serrated?
Yes. The product description identifies serrated tips for gripping small objects. Consider smooth tips instead when surface marking is a concern.
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 18076EGBLK?
The 18077EGBLK uses the #66 tapered fine-point pattern with an approximately 20 mm tip. The 18076EGBLK uses the angled #65A pattern with an approximately 5 mm tip. Their listed overall lengths are 140 mm and 138 mm, respectively.
Are these tweezers ESD-safe?
No ESD rating or certification is provided in this listing. Anti-magnetic construction and a black PVD finish do not, by themselves, establish ESD-safe performance.
