Tweezers for handling miniature and micro-miniature parts and assemblies, tweezers are as essential as the fingers on your hand, There are definite differences in their patterns. Oint finish and the materials used make some patterns more suitable for a particular job than others. The tweezers listed below, are manufactured by Peer-Vigor (made in Switzerland for Grobet USA) and Grobet (great value - made for Grobet in the USA).
The Chart below shows general property relationships among the various metals used in manufacturing tweezers. In addition, note that the points of the harder metals will wera longer and are less subject to bending. The Softer metals will not scratch delicate parts and usally have desirable properties such as being non-magnetic etc.

Pattern #1 and 11N: For general use, assembly, inspection, sorting. Tweezers feature tapered shanks with beveled edges, and sharp, plain-finished points. Pattern #11N is made of non-magnetic German silver and is the same length as pattern #1. Overall length is 4¾" (121mm).
Pattern #2: General use tweezers with sturdier points slightly wider than pattern #1. Indented and have flat edges for gripping object with tip or side. The plain finished points have a fine tip. Overall length is 4¾" (121mm).
Pattern #2A: Similar to pattern #2, except points are .055" (1.4mm) wide and rounded at the tips. Overall length is 4¾" (121mm).
Pattern #3: Excellent tweezers for handling all miniature and micro-miniature parts. Shanks are tapered with beveled edges; points have been honed and are very sharp. Overall length is 4¾" (121mm).
Pattern #3C: Shoter version of pattern #3. Overall length is 4½" (114mm).
Pattern #4: Idealy suited for handling microscopic parts. Shanks are indented with beveled edges and points that have been extra-honed to a needle-like shape and sharpness. Overall length is 4½" (114mm).
Pattern #5: Similar to pattern #4, except have very narrow needle-like points. Overall length is 4½" (114mm).
Pattern #7: Excellent tweezers for handling all miniature and micro-miniature parts and components. The shape permits the user to rest his hand on the bench during assembly operations. The curved shanks have beveled edges; points have a plain finish, but are very sharp. Overall length is 4½" (114mm).
Pattern #15: The most popular wire cutting tweezers. Strong oblique cutting edge gives crisp, clean close cuts on many types of wire. Overall length is 4½" (114mm).
