Use Cases

Match the tool to the handling task

Use probes and fine tips for close positioning, inspection and lead adjustment. Choose hook and pick profiles for pulling or leveraging small parts, springs and cotter pins. Select a spring puller hook wrench for installing or removing tension springs.

How to Choose

Start with tip shape and handling requirements

Straight, angled, curved, hook and rounded tips each support different access and contact needs. For electronics work, consider ESD-safe options; for careful pickup, rounded tips can help reduce the risk of surface damage.

Applications

Support work in tight and detailed areas

Representative applications include PC board assembly, electronics component handling, cold-solder probing, hand inspection, micro-positioning, automotive engine-bay work, and brake, exhaust or throttle return spring service.

Additional Info

Compare grips, construction and organization

Knurled, soft-touch, textured rubber, tri-lobe and T-handles provide different handling approaches. Construction options include hardened steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, PC carbon fiber and nonmetallic designs. Some sets include a storage pouch or blade markings for organization.

Tool Types

Select the profile that fits your access and task

Tweezers are suited to picking up, holding and positioning small items. Fine-tip styles support precise placement, while curved styles provide angled access in tight or shallow spaces. Round-tip tweezers are designed for careful pickup with less risk of damage. Probes, hooks and picks offer profiles for reaching, positioning, pulling and leveraging small parts.

  • Fine, curved and round tweezer tips support different handling needs.
  • Straight, 90-degree, full-hook and angle-hook profiles provide varied access.
  • Hooked spring tools help pull tension springs into position and guide them onto mounting posts.
Material & Handling

Consider ESD needs, durability and grip

For work involving electrostatic-sensitive components, ESD-safe tweezers are available in nonmetallic and PC carbon fiber designs. Stainless steel tips are used for detailed probing and adjustment, while alloy steel, hardened steel and carbon steel constructions support repeated use. Handle styles can help provide controlled, comfortable handling during detailed work.

  • ESD-safe fine-tip, curved-tip and round-tip choices support static-sensitive handling.
  • Acid- and heat-resistant PC carbon fiber options are represented.
  • Oil- and solvent-resistant handles are available on selected hook and pick sets.
Sets & Reach

Choose coverage for recurring tasks

Sets provide multiple profiles for varied work, including 4-piece, 5-piece and 7-piece assortments. Available tool lengths include compact 4.5-inch tweezers, 6-inch pick and hook tools, a 6-11/16-inch curved-tip universal tweezer, and an 8-1/2-inch hook and lifter spring tool. A self-locking tweezer is included in one stainless steel set for holding small items without continuous hand pressure.

  • Multi-piece sets provide more tip and profile options.
  • A storage pouch is included with one mini hook and pick set.
  • Laser-etched markings on one set help identify tools quickly.
