We love our Titanium (Ti) at Lion Punch Forge, but why is it so special. Ti is largely used in the Aerospace, bio medical industry, situations where corrosion resistance and good high temperature performance are important.
Unfortunately, Ti is also expensive. However, our desire to make tools the way we think tools should be made outweighs some cost considerations.
When we design something new material sciences are a big factor in where we start. the question, "What physical material will be the best for the intended application" must be answered. We want to build tools that last your lifetime. Durable, quality and enjoyable to use plus having a fun name helps.
For the Ti Tweezy we chose Titanium because it is an extremely durable, corrosion resistant, limited thermal conductivity, and its very light. In fact Ti is 40% lighter than steel but as strong as high-strength steel.
Current market offerings for soldering tweezers are typically steel. The steel varieties are made of several parts that are welded, soldered or riveted together.
The Ti Tweezies (I giggle every time I type that) are precision laser cut from grade 5 titanium. The one piece construction means no mechanical joint failures. Since Ti has decent spring back properties they will stay nice an springy
Additionally These multifunctional tools
Ti Tweezies feature:
Pictured here is an example of some of the colors.
These are some of the prototypes i was working on before deciding on the production design
