Swiss-made to tight tolerances, these tweezers have perfect tip alignment, so they can be used to work under magnification.

Tweezers with pointed tips give you a firm grip, but they can mar components. Tweezers with angled tips are good for placing chips and electronic components on circuit boards. They are also known as SMD (surface-mount device) tweezers. 300 series stainless steel tweezers have excellent corrosion resistance, but the tips are less durable than 400 series stainless steel. Commonly known as anti-magnetic tweezers, they are typically nonmagnetic but may become slightly magnetic with use.

Tweezers with a dull appearance won’t cause reflections and glare under a microscope.
