Built for Professional Use
Like all Swanstrom pliers, the S231E is manufactured from high-carbon, high-chrome alloy steel and precision heat treated for exceptional durability, strength, and long service life.
Swanstrom’s proprietary hardening process ensures consistent performance and helps maintain jaw alignment and gripping power through years of demanding bench use.
Why Jewelers Love Them
When smooth jaw pliers aren’t enough, the serrated jaws of the S231E provide extra holding power—making them especially useful for gripping stubborn components, manipulating wire, or working in tight areas where precision and control matter.
Important: Serrated jaws are designed for secure grip and may leave marks on softer metals or finished surfaces. For delicate finishes, consider smooth-jaw pliers.
