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 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.
