The maxim that we are only as good as our tools certainly applies when working with the tiny microelectronic devices common at today's electronic bench. Our engineers carefully set out to select the most utilitarian and commonly used precision probes and tweezers at the electronic bench. The result?

Below are two sets of tools: the SDP-111 Set of 4 Probes and the ZT-2-010 Set of 2 Tweezers which meet most bench applications during prototyping, low volume production, and rework of PCB's.

These tools are fabricated from acid-resistant, non-contaminating, rust-free, stainless steel. And, yes they are non-magnetic so they can be used with micro electronic devices and CMOS sensitive components.

The Features: Each tool features a dual combination of working tool ends maximizing utility for the technician, providing 8 tool ends for most every application. The standard 6.5 inch (16.5 cm) length of all 4 tools is easy to manipulate and popular for working with small SMT devices.

The Variety: The 8 configurations of working ends include 90°, 45°, straight, curved, hooked and pointed providing a wide array of utility in these lightweight, but sturdy stainless tools.

It seems that everyone has tweezers to peddle these days. So what distinguishes ours from the rest? Plenty. First, we did our homework.

Universality: We researched and tested what seems just about every tweezer there was. Drawing on over four decades of collective experience at the electronic benchtop, our engineering group then carefully set the design criteria for the "essential tweezers" selecting the two most useful tweezer designs yielding the greatest universal applications possible.

Our ZT-2-010 Tweezers are fabricated of stainless steel, the tweezers working ends are in the two most popular styles that offer the most widespread applications: 90° (Right Angled) and Curved, and there are no serrations that can scratch, score and damage microchips.

There Are Some Critical Design Features When Selecting Tweezers:  Each of the design elements are significant and required when handling microelectronic devices. The ZT-2-010 Tweezersare non-magnetic, non-corrosive, and acid-proof stainless steel. Stainless steel construction is impervious to the common fluxes, flux removers and solvents typical at the bench. Further, stainless steel helps repel molten solder (plated copper tweezers eventually wear and solder will stick to the copper). Both tweezers are heat resistant and completely ESD safe, unlike many plastic tweezers.
