FAQs
Can I use these tweezers on high-voltage equipment?
These tweezers are designed for precision handling and do not feature insulated grips for electrical protection. Avoid contact with live high-voltage circuits.
What is the material composition?
The 140.AA model is crafted from high-quality professional-grade stainless steel specifically treated to be anti-magnetic.
Are these suitable for medical or surgical use?
These are professional-grade tools for electronics and mechanics; they are not certified for medical or surgical procedures.
Can the tips be sharpened if they get dull?
It is generally not recommended to sharpen these tips, as it can ruin the factory-set alignment and precision geometry.
How should I store them?
Store them in a dry, organized tool box or dedicated rack, ideally with the tips covered to protect them from impact.
Troubleshooting
Tips are misaligned and do not meet perfectly
Check for debris between the blades. If clear, avoid excessive pressure; these are precision instruments, not clamps, and should not be forced.
Tweezers have become magnetized
Use a professional-grade demagnetizer tool to restore the anti-magnetic properties of the metal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a manual precision tool, no complex setup is required. To ensure longevity, store the tweezers with a protective cap or within a designated tool roll to prevent the fine tips from bending or blunting. Clean the tips periodically using a soft, lint-free cloth and, if necessary, a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to remove finger oils or residue. Avoid using these tweezers for tasks that exceed their mechanical limits, such as forcing apart metal plates or heavy-duty wire stripping, as this can misalign the precision tips.
