Swanstrom S340AE Midsize Bent Nose Needle Nose Pliers with Long Ergonomic Handle
The Swanstrom S340AE Bent Nose Needle Nose Plier is a premium precision plier designed for jewelers, metalsmiths, and fabrication professionals who need enhanced visibility, improved access, and ergonomic comfort during detailed bench work. Featuring midsize bent needle nose jaws, smooth non-marring surfaces, and long ergonomic Soft-Touch™ handles, the S340AE is ideal for gripping, positioning, bending, and maneuvering wire or components in tight or difficult-to-access areas.
The bent nose jaw design provides a clear advantage when working in confined spaces or around complex assemblies. The angled jaws improve visibility of your workpiece and allow easier access without blocking your line of sight—making the S340AE especially useful for intricate fabrication, delicate adjustments, and precision assembly work.
Its smooth jaws securely grip wire and components without serrations, helping protect precious metals, polished finishes, and delicate materials from scratches or marring. This makes the S340AE an excellent choice for fine jewelry work and applications where preserving surface quality is essential.
The midsize needle nose profile offers an excellent balance between precision and holding power, giving you the control needed for delicate work while still maintaining enough strength for shaping and manipulation tasks.
Designed for extended bench sessions, the long ergonomic Soft-Touch™ handles provide increased leverage and distribute pressure more evenly across the hand, reducing fatigue during repetitive work. The padded, textured grips maximize comfort and control during long production runs or detailed fabrication sessions.
Forged from premium high-chromium, high-carbon alloy steel and hardened using Swanstrom’s proprietary heat-treating process, the S340AE delivers exceptional durability, precise jaw alignment, and long-lasting professional performance. The anti-glare finish reduces eye strain and improves visibility under bright bench lighting.
