The EM-Tec high precision anti-magnetic locking tweezers are Swiss made precision engineered high quality tweezers with smooth edges and a superior matte finish to reduce glare. The EM-Tec locking tweezers include a sliding locking mechanism with anti-slip pattern to keep the tweezers tips closed. When the integrated locking slider is moved forwards, arts are held by the tweezers tips without any need to apply pressure on the handles. When items need to be handled, examined of moved around, locking tweezers are safer and more ergonomic. Some users find locking tweezers easier to use than reverse action tweezers. The locking mechanism allows for adjustable pressure on the parts as well.

The tweezers and the locking mechanism are made from a special, low carbon, high strength stainless steel. This tough material exhibits good corrosion resistance to salts, low concentrate acids, solvents, oils and greases. Good wear resistance against most materials. Although the alloy used is an anti-magnetic, it is not recommend to use these tweezers in strong magnetic fields or for handling magnets. The application fields for the EM-Tec high precision tweezers are wide ranging and include: sample handling, microscopy preparation, sorting, precision manufacturing, electronic assembly, watch making, general laboratory, biological and medical applications. Offered are 7 different styles of locking tweezers.
