FAQs

What makes these tweezers 'anti-acid' and 'anti-magnetic'?

The special alloy used for the tips is resistant to chemical corrosion from acids and does not retain magnetic fields, which is crucial for working with sensitive electronic components.

Are these tweezers suitable for handling live electrical components?

While the material is anti-magnetic, these tweezers are not insulated for electrical safety. Always ensure power is disconnected before working on electrical circuits.

How long are the tweezers?

The overall length of the Modelcraft Strong Fine Stainless Steel Tweezers is 115mm.

What is the best way to store these tweezers to protect the tips?

It is recommended to store them in a dedicated protective case or pouch. This prevents the fine tips from bending, chipping, or becoming damaged.

Can I use these for hobbies other than electronics?

Yes, they are excellent for a variety of fine detail hobbies including model building, watch repair, jewelry making, stamp collecting, and any task involving the manipulation of very small objects.

What material are the tweezers made of?

The body is made of stainless steel, and the tips are made of anti-magnetic steel.

Will these tweezers rust?

The stainless steel construction offers good resistance to rust, and the anti-acid properties further protect against corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Tips are not aligning perfectly

Gently flex the tweezers body to realign the tips. If damage is visible, contact support or consider replacement.

Difficulty picking up very small items

Ensure the tips are clean and dry. Practice your grip and angle of approach. For extremely small items, a magnifying glass may also help.

Tips feel sticky or resistant

Clean the tips thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth to remove any residue or contaminants.

Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of small parts and components across electronics, horology, jewelry, and model-making industries. Their material is inert and safe for most common materials.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the tips clean after each use with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn residue, use a cloth lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol and allow to air dry completely.
