Swanstrom S331E Midsize Needle Nose Pliers with Serrated Jaw & Ergonomic Handle
The Swanstrom S331E Midsize Needle Nose Plier is a premium heavy-duty precision plier designed for jewelers, metalsmiths, fabrication professionals, and detailed bench work where secure gripping, precision control, and all-day comfort are essential. Featuring midsize needle nose jaws, serrated gripping surfaces, and long ergonomic Soft-Touch™ handles, the S331E is ideal for gripping, pulling, positioning, bending, and manipulating wire or components with maximum holding power.
The needle nose jaw design provides excellent reach into tight or recessed areas while maintaining precise control over smaller components. Unlike smooth-jaw pliers, the serrated jaws offer enhanced gripping strength, helping prevent slipping when working with tougher wire, findings, mechanical components, or materials that require a firm hold.
Its midsize jaw profile strikes an ideal balance between finesse and strength—large enough for secure gripping yet precise enough for detailed fabrication work. This makes the S331E especially useful for wire manipulation, forming bends, holding components during soldering, and general fabrication tasks where grip security matters more than surface protection.
Built for long hours at the bench, the ergonomic Soft-Touch™ handles are longer, wider, and padded to distribute pressure evenly across the hand, reducing fatigue during repetitive work. The enhanced leverage and comfort make the S331E particularly valuable for production environments or extended fabrication sessions.
Forged from premium high-chromium, high-carbon alloy steel and hardened using Swanstrom’s proprietary heat-treating process, the S331E delivers exceptional durability, precise jaw alignment, and long-lasting professional performance. The anti-glare finish reduces reflective glare and improves workpiece visibility under bright bench lighting.

Why Choose the S331E?
The S331E is ideal when you need more grip security than smooth-jaw pliers can provide. Its serrated jaws help prevent slipping, while the ergonomic handles reduce fatigue during repetitive work, making it an excellent all-around fabrication and holding tool.
Important Note
Because of the serrated jaws, the S331E may leave marks on softer metals or polished surfaces. For delicate or finished jewelry, consider a smooth-jaw plier instead.
Made in the USA, the Swanstrom S331E delivers professional-grade gripping power, precision control, and ergonomic comfort for demanding bench work.
