Tronex Tweezer Selection Guide

BLU-TEK
Laboratory Grade Tweezer
Laboratory and Microscopy
Blu-Tek tweezers were designed for industrial and laboratory use. The attractive blue finish is a result of a Titanium Nitride PVD coating method, giving the tweezers the strength, durability, and scratch & corrosion resistance of titanium. These coatings can reduce friction and provide a barrier against damage. The applications for these coatings are ever expanding. Aerospace, automotive, defense, manufacturing and more where long lasting durability is crucial. Blu-Tek tweezers feature precise tips designed to remain aligned throughout the life of the tweezers.
- Presses grip lines adds comfort and ease of use
- Scratch and corrosion resistant
- Precise tip alignment

Reimagining the Tweezer
Laboratory and Microscopy
Aven’s cutting edge design features a angled bend at the end of the tip, providing a softer overall grip with a large surface area that reduces hand fatigue, enhancing productivity. The durable tweezers are protected by an attractive ESD safe coating, and the highly polished stainless steel tips with rounded edges allow operators to handle very fine wire, miniature parts, electrical components, and other delicate materials
- Exclusive patent-pending design reduces hand fatigue
- Highly polished stainless steel tips with rounded edges
- Protective ESD Safe coating
- Anti-magnetic & anti-acid
Accu-Tek
Premium Titanium Tweezers
Precision Assembly
Swiss-Made premium titanium tweezers. These titanium tweezers have been found to be excellent for use in the silicon chip industry because titanium tweezers do not shed particles like the stainless steel tweezers. Anytime an abrasive substance is handled and microscopic particles are a detriment, it may be best to choose titanium. Since titanium is non-magnetic, these tweezers are extremely useful when handling magnetic materials or when working in a magnetic field. Titanium is a light weight, high strength material.
- Lightweight (high strength to weight ratio)
- Zero magnetic retentively
- Temperature resistant to 800°C/1600°F
- Chemical and corrosion resistant
- Solder non-adherent

E-Z Pik
Industrial Tweezer
Precision Assembly
E-Z Pik tweezers feature a highly durable special coating for high visibility and easy identification. Operators can quickly identify the tweezers they need for their particular operation and engineers can easily specify tweezers to be used for a particular process by identifying the color, rather than the pattern of tweezers.
- Color coated for easy identification
- Straight strong precise tips
- Anti-magnetic
- Anti-acid
- 304 Stainless steel

Tweezer Material

Titanium

Titanium tweezers are excellent for use in the silicon chip industry, as they do not shed particles like the stainless steel. When it is determined that microscopic particles are a detriment when handling abrasive parts we recommend using titanium tweezers. In addition since titanium tweezers are 100% non magnetic, they are extremely useful when working with magnetic materials or when working in a magnetic field. Titanium is lightweight and a high strength material.

Carbofib

Fully ESD Safe (102 ohm) but at the same time, soft and non scratching. These conductive synthetic fiber tips are ideally suited to handle delicate and fragile components when extreme care and ESD safety are an absolute necessity. All tweezers are manually finished and tested for maximum precision. Chemical resistant and heat resistant up to 256oC.

Stainless Steel

Perfectly balanced for a superior feel. Light weight with soft tension with accurately finished points. Recommended for work under high power magnification aerospace and micro electronics and in applications where high precision is required. Stainless steel does show some magnetism.

Stainless Steel W/ Titanium Nitride PVD Infusion

The attractive blue finish is a result of a Titanium Nitride PVD coating method, giving the tweezers the strength, durability, and scratch & corrosion resistance of titanium. These coatings can reduce friction and provide a barrier against damage. The applications for these coatings are ever expanding. Aerospace, automotive, defense, manufacturing and more where long lasting durability is crucial.

Material Tip Hardness Magnetism Corrosion Resistance
Titanium Excellent Never Excellent
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
Titanium Nitride PVD Coating Very Good None to Very Little Excellent
