Product Overview

• Material: Typically high-quality 304 stainless steel for heat and corrosion resistance.
• Design: Scissor-like with curved, serrated, or corrugated tips to ensure a secure, non-slip grip on hot vessels.
• Safety: Allows users to handle materials heated up to approximately 565°C (and specialized versions much higher) without direct contact.

Key Specifications to Confirm

• Joint Type: Look for riveted joints for better durability.
• Tip Style: Choose serrated or corrugated tips for the best grip on ceramic crucibles.
• Handle: Some models include plastic or rubber coatings for improved grip comfort. 
• Material: Typically constructed from high-quality 18/10 stainless steel (Grade 304 or similar).
• Length: 250 mm (approx. 10 inches), providing a safe distance between the user’s hand and the heat source.
• Grip Design: Features curved, serrated, or corrugated tips to provide a non-slip hold on crucibles, beakers, and flasks.
• Heat Resistance: Designed to handle items at several hundred degrees Celsius (up to 500°C for common grades, with some specialized models reaching 1,200°C).
• Jaw Aperture: Standard models often have an aperture of approximately 30 mm.

• Handling Hot Apparatus: Safely grasping and moving hot crucibles, evaporating dishes, and small beakers.
• Chemical Tasks: Holding solid matter while it is being heated or burned in a furnace or over a flame.
• Laboratory Safety: Protecting users from chemical burns and heat exposure.
