Knipex Cross-Over Tweezers - Nickel Plated - Trapezoidal Tips - 160mm

Their primary purpose is to hold small parts automatically without continuous finger pressure, making them ideal for tasks like soldering, precision assembly, and electronics work.

The 'cross-over' design refers to how the jaws meet and cross over each other when closed, providing a secure grip on small objects. The spring mechanism keeps them closed once engaged.

While made of steel, they are not insulated. Use caution when working near heat sources and avoid prolonged contact with extremely hot objects.

They are made from high-strength spring steel with a nickel-plated finish.

Yes, their precise tips and holding capability make them suitable for handling small beads or jewelry components, provided they are not excessively large or smooth.

They have a length of 160mm and weigh approximately 35g.

Clean the tips with a soft cloth and mild cleaner if needed, ensuring they are dried thoroughly. Store them in a dry place to prevent rust and maintain the nickel plating.

Ensure the part is correctly positioned within the trapezoidal tips and that the part is not too large or smooth for the serrations to grip effectively. Check for any debris on the gripping surfaces.

Check the pivot point for any obstructions or debris. Gently clean the pivot area. If the issue persists, there may be a manufacturing defect.

Clean the affected area gently with a soft cloth. For minor spots, a very fine steel wool (used with caution) might help, followed by thorough drying. Regular cleaning and dry storage are key to prevention.
