High-grade materials

PB Swiss Tools special alloy

The basic material used to manufacture PB Swiss Tools tools is a special alloy based on spring steel. This special type of steel is extremely hard (58-60 HRC) and boasts unique toughness and spring characteristics. It has been produced from a special recipe that was developed especially for us over many decades in collaboration with numerous steelworks. 
 

PB Swiss Tools handles

Cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) is a natural material derived from wood which we use for crafting the PB Swiss Tools Classic and multicraft handles. Since CAB can develop an unpleasant odor in airtight boxes and drawers, we add a subtle vanilla fragrance to the material to neutralize it.

The SwissGrip, VDE screwdriver and electronics screwdriver handle lines are manufactured from a combination of two components. In each case, the core consists of a particularly tough, impact-resistant polypropylene while the outer surface is made of a soft, kind-to-the-skin elastomer.

We manufacture the SwissGrip Evo handles from three components. The inner core is made of 100% recycled PP, making it impact-proof and absorbent. The outer core is made of stiff PA6, which is also made from a high proportion of recycled materials. Color Code system makes it easy to identify the different drives. The casing consists of a non-slip soft component that enables unrivaled torques.
