The Aven Tools 18013TS Titanium Accu-Tek Tweezers are excellent for use in the silicon chip industry, since titanium tweezers do not shed particles like stainless steel tweezers. Anytime an abrasive substance is handled and microscopic particles are a detriment, it is ideal to choose titanium tools like the 18013TS Tweezers. Furthermore, titanium is a light weight, high strength material. Since titanium is non-magnetic, these tweezers are also extremely useful when handling magnetic materials or when working in a magnetic field.
