Title: Agilent/Keysight U1733C tweezers- has anyone found better ones?
Post by: reagle on October 13, 2016, 12:37:48 pm

Using stock Agilent tweezers is starting to get very frustrating- they are just not designed for handling small parts.Are there any good quality third party tweezers that people found to work well instead? Basically a two leads+ guard setup

Tegam make some high-end ones

All 4-wire, but a better-aligned and lower spring force mechanism than the Agilent ones.

Or you could try the £3 ones from ebay. You'll soon learn to appreciate the Agilents :)

Oddly enough even the cheap one that comes with my Tonghui LCR is way better in use than the Agilent's
