Extend the life of these tweezers by replacing the tips when they become worn. The soft tips won’t nick or scratch components, and the stainless steel body has excellent corrosion resistance. Commonly known as anti-magnetic tweezers, they are typically nonmagnetic but may become slightly magnetic with use.

Tweezers with curved tips reach over and around obstructions.

Carbon fiber tips are the strongest, so they can handle repeated use on heavy components without cracking or degrading. However, if you press hard enough, they can leave carbon particles behind. They are often used in general electronics assembly. These tips are conductive, meaning static can flow through them to divert an electrostatic discharge (ESD). However, their low surface resistivity means that they can increase the static charge while diverting it.

PEEK plastic tips won’t degrade from contact with chemicals, including solvents and many inorganic liquids. They also hold up in high temperature applications. These tips are often used for handling components during cleaning or chemical treating. They are conductive, meaning static can flow through them to divert an electrostatic discharge (ESD). However, their low surface resistivity means that they can increase a static charge while diverting it.
