The CCSF Otto Frei Simple Jewelers Kit was assembled at the request of the Metal Arts Department at City College of San Francisco, though any student or working jeweler can benefit from its well-rounded selection of bench tools. Building on the foundation of the Otto Frei Simple Jewelry Tool Kit, this kit adds several items specifically chosen to support the techniques taught in CCSF's metalsmithing curriculum — including four grits of 3M abrasive paper, a split mandrel, solder picks, and a silver wire solder kit. All needle files and precision files in this kit are Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss Made.
