Choosing Precision Tweezers

Tweezers are tools used for picking up objects too small to be easily handled with human hands.

Precision tweezers - to meet applications in electronics, aircraft & aerospace, miniature assembly, precision engineering, optics, microscopy, etc.

In order to choose the best tool for your application:

Determine the type of points best suited for your application.
Refer to the material guide below and select the correct material for your application.
Remember, there is a trade-off between hardness, magnetism, and corrosion resistance.
Determine the quality level required for your application if applicable.

Accutek tweezers are made from the finest steels. Perfectly balanced for a superior feel. Lightweight with soft tension with accurately finished points. Recommended for work under high power magnification in aerospace and micro electronics and in applications where high precision is required. All Accutek precision tweezers are made from anti-acid, anti-magnetic stainless steel.

Material selection table

Material	Tip Hardness	Magnetism	Corrosion Resistance
Carbon Steel	Excellent	Yes	Low
Stainless Steel	Very Good	Some	Good
Stainless Steel Anti-magnetic, Anti-acid	Good	None to very little	Excellent, Resists acids
Carbon Composite	Soft	None	Non-Corrosive
Ceramic	ESD Safe, non-magnetic. Resists all chemicals except hydrofluoric acids. Withstands temperatures up to 900°F. Heat sink fighter.
Plastic	Static dissipative plastic tweezers. Plastic tweezers are non-magnetic, resist virtually all commercial solvents. Non-absorbent and easy to clean. Tips are non-marring.
Titanium	Titanium tweezers are non-magnetic, do not shed particles.

Special Coatings (Available on non-magnetic steel only)

TE - Teflon	Superior anti-scratch, non-stick material. Acid-resistant. 400˚F/200˚C
EP - Epoxy	Good electrical insulation and resistance to chemicals. Antiglare. 300˚F/150˚C
RY - Ryton	Very smooth. Excellent resistance to chemicals and temperature
PY - Pyron	Water and solder repellent. Non-conductive 950˚F/500˚C
GP - Gold Plating	Very high corrosion resistance. Smooth anti-scratch, anti-glare, no tarnish finish
