FAQs

What does ESD coating mean?

ESD stands for Electrostatic Discharge. The coating helps to safely dissipate static electricity from the tweezers and the component being handled, preventing damage to sensitive electronic parts.

Are these tweezers suitable for general hobby use?

While they can be used for general purposes, their specialized sharp, pointed tips are optimized for precise electronic work. For general gripping tasks, other tweezer types might be more suitable.

What is the material of the tweezers?

The tweezers are made from special stainless steel (SA) that is antimagnetic and acid-resistant.

How long are the tweezers?

The tweezers are 120 mm in length.

What is the weight of the tweezers?

The tweezers weigh approximately 15 grams.

Can these tweezers be used with magnetic components?

No, the tweezers are made from antimagnetic stainless steel, making them safe to use around magnetic components without interfering with them.

What is the specific shape of the tips?

The tips are sickle-shaped and extra pointed, bent at a 40° angle, and are approximately 35 mm long.

Troubleshooting

Tips are not aligned correctly.

While rare due to precision manufacturing, if tips appear misaligned, check for any debris causing the issue. If the issue persists, the tweezers may need replacement.

ESD coating appears damaged.

Inspect the tweezers visually. If the coating is visibly compromised, their ESD protection may be compromised, and they should be replaced for sensitive work.

Tweezers feel loose or wobbly.

Ensure you are holding the tweezers firmly. If there is internal looseness, it might indicate a manufacturing defect, and replacement may be necessary.
