Ceramic Tip—Ceramic tips are made from zirconia-toughened alumina, which combines high strength and hardness. Because they have a hard surface, these tips resist abrasion and wear. They also have excellent thermal properties and withstand high temperatures and corrosive environments. These tips are often used when handling components during thermal, chemical and soldering processes, especially when very rigid tips are required. They are static dissipative.

Round Tip—Tweezers with round tips won’t mar or nick components. However, they don’t hold objects as well as pointed tips.
