Precision Tweezers (ESD-Safe)
Fine-tipped ESD-safe tweezers with a sharp, angled point. Essential for handling the tiny screws, adhesive pull tabs, and flex cables that are impossible to grip with fingers alone.
- ESD-safe coating protects sensitive components
- Fine angled tip for precision gripping
- Spring tension provides controlled grip force
- Stainless steel body resists corrosion
When to use it
Any time you encounter tiny screws, adhesive pull tabs (like iPhone battery tabs), or need to position a small component. Essentially used in every teardown.
What it replaces
Regular tweezers work but lack ESD protection. For electronics work, always use ESD-safe versions.

We link to wherever offers the best version of each tool. iFixit specializes in repair tools with excellent quality. Amazon is better for general-purpose items and wider availability.
It depends on the device. Phones and laptops are generally safe if you disconnect the battery first. Power electronics (chargers, power supplies) can retain dangerous voltage in capacitors — always discharge them before touching anything inside. Wear safety glasses when prying open enclosures.
