ESD-10 (standard) is used for the installation and welding of integrated chips and parts.

ESD-11 (thin tip type) is longer than the standard type and used for precision electronic components operation.

ESD-12 (thick and long type) this forceps is relatively powerful and not easy to bend.

When soldering small surface-mount (SMD/SMT) components, one thing you'll need is a good pair of tweezers. These tweezers are a great pair of every-day tweezers. They're anti-static, anti-magnetic and made of hard stainless steel. The tips are fine and pointy to pick up any size component. This particular model is 135mm long with a 12.5mm / 0.5" gap at the tips while open, this allows it to pick of fairly large TQFP's and SSOP's for placement and steadying during soldering.
