Swanstrom - Pliers - Parallel-Action Heavy-Duty Chain-Nose (NR1722)
The Swanstrom NR1722 Parallel-Action Heavy-Duty Chain Nose Pliers are built for strength, precision, and control in demanding fabrication environments. Designed for jewelry makers, metalworkers, and production professionals, these pliers deliver a powerful yet refined gripping and forming experience for heavier-gauge wire and robust components. The chain nose profile provides excellent reach into tight areas while still offering the flat internal surfaces needed for controlled bending and shaping.
Featuring Swanstrom’s parallel-action mechanism, the jaws remain perfectly aligned throughout the entire range of motion, ensuring even pressure from tip to heel. This design significantly improves control compared to standard chain nose pliers, especially when working with thicker or more resistant materials. The heavy-duty large jaw construction enhances durability and stability, making it ideal for repeated use in high-force applications. Combined with long ergonomic handles, the NR1722 delivers superior leverage while reducing hand fatigue during extended work sessions.
Engineered for professional reliability, this tool is designed to maintain precision and performance even under rigorous daily use.
