Swanstrom S328 Midsize Extra Long Chain Nose Pliers – Standard Handle
The Swanstrom S328 Chain Nose Plier is a premium precision plier designed for jewelers, metalsmiths, and fabrication professionals who need maximum reach, precise control, and secure handling in confined spaces. Featuring midsize extra-long chain nose jaws, smooth non-marring surfaces, and comfortable standard handles, the S328 is ideal for gripping, positioning, bending, and manipulating wire or components deep within detailed assemblies or hard-to-access work areas.
The extra-long tapered chain nose jaws provide superior reach compared to standard chain nose pliers, making the S328 an excellent choice for accessing tight spaces, repositioning delicate components, and performing intricate assembly work. The longer jaw profile offers precision and visibility where shorter pliers may fall short, while the midsize jaw strength maintains excellent control without excessive bulk.
Its smooth jaws securely grip wire and components without serrations, helping protect precious metals and polished surfaces from scratches or marring. This makes the S328 especially valuable when working with finished jewelry, delicate wire, or precision components where surface protection matters.
Forged from premium high-chromium, high-carbon alloy steel and hardened using Swanstrom’s proprietary heat-treating process, the S328 offers exceptional durability, precise jaw alignment, and long-lasting professional performance. The finely finished jaws maintain their shape and smoothness through years of normal bench use.
