Well, after the discussion about titanium tweezers, I went to Ebay and
bought a tweezers from this link:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/6-5-Sharp-Point-Titanium-Jewelers-Tweezers-BCZ02-/360404280619?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53e9c4e52b$10.90 including shipping (USA). A good price, I think. I got it
today, and my components don't stick -- it is definitely anti-magnetic,
and the grinder sparks are unlike any steel I've ever seen. . Touching
it to a grinder generates sparks that are very fine and bright white
hot. It feels much lighter than what I would expect for standard steel
tweezers (titanium is 57% the specific density of steel) so it probably
is titanium as advertised. The points are sharp and well mated. I
look forward to testing it soon in action.
If anyone has an easy, definitive test for titanium, I could possibly
try it.
I also ordered an "ESD" safe anti-magnetic tweezer from a China/Hong
Kong source, but it won't be here for a week or two. I'll report on it
when it comes in.
Anyway, the titanium tweezers above seems to be a good value.
