Squeeze-to-Open Tweezers
Hold small parts without the need to apply pressure. Squeeze these tweezers to open the tips and release to close them.
Tweezers with offset tips keep whatever object they’re holding elevated when they’re set down on a surface. This is useful if you need both hands free.
Tweezers with round tips won’t nick or mar your object’s surface, but they don’t grip as tight as pointed tips. Tweezers with trapezoid tips give you a good grip on large, flat components. Tweezers with square tips work well if you need to grip thin sheets and labels.
Tweezers with hard fiber grip insulate against heat.
400 series stainless steel tweezers have good corrosion resistance and are mildly magnetic. Plastic-coated steel tweezers won’t mar delicate components.

High-Precision Squeeze-to-Open Tweezers
Grip small objects without applying any pressure—the tips on these tweezers open when you squeeze them and close when you release. Swiss made to tight tolerances, they have the perfect tip alignment required for work under magnification. They’re 300 series stainless steel, so they have excellent corrosion resistance but their tips are less durable than those made of 400 series stainless. Commonly known as anti-magnetic tweezers, they are typically nonmagnetic but may become slightly magnetic with use.
Tweezers with slim tips allow more visibility of your work than standard tips. Tweezers with bent or curved tips reach over and around obstructions. Those with bent tips also have square ends for placing chips and electronic components on circuit boards. Also known as SMD (surface-mount device) tweezers.
Tweezers with pointed tips firmly grip an object but may nick or mar its surface. Tweezers with round tips won’t nick or mar your object’s surface, but they don’t grip as tight as pointed tips.
