Fretz MKR-404 Maker Precisionsmith Large Embossing Hammer

The Fretz MKR-404 Maker Precisionsmith Large Embossing Hammer is designed for texturing both convex and concave surfaces, delivering a classic dimple hammer effect that would be difficult to replicate by any other means. This hammer features two different-sized ball ends — 10mm and 9mm in diameter — giving jewelers and metalsmiths the flexibility to choose the texture scale that best suits each project.

Maker Precisionsmith hammers measure 65mm in head length, making them slightly more compact than the Standard Precisionsmith line at 70mm, with proportionally smaller ends as well. The result is a nimble, precise tool well suited to detailed forming and embossing work.

The Maker line was developed by Bill and Jordan Fretz in direct response to low-quality imitations entering the market. By making thoughtful refinements — including a slight redesign of the head shapes and the use of North American ash handles in place of the premium line's paduk — Fretz delivers the same hand-polished 420 stainless steel heads, the same attention to balance, and the same oil-finished handle craftsmanship at a more accessible price point. Fretz Maker hammers are made with the same attention to detail that makes the premium line of Fretz hammers so special.
