Whether preparing metal for chasing or freeform shaping, this hammer delivers controlled, repeatable results with a fine dimpled texture that can be varied by the strength of each blow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFretz Jewelers Hammers occupy the middle ground in the Fretz hammer lineup — smaller than the Fretz Silversmithing series and larger than the Precisionsmith series — making them the go-to choice for a wide range of metalsmithing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e420 stainless steel head\u003c\/strong\u003e cast and hardened to 50Rc for lasting durability and a consistent striking surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHighly polished head faces\u003c\/strong\u003e (5mm and 7mm) leave a fine dimpled texture ideal for small embossing work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAfrican Padauk (Rosewood) handle\u003c\/strong\u003e — smooth, perfectly balanced, and finished to an exceptional feel in hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHandle weight is proportional to head weight for natural balance during extended use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned specifically for forming small raised areas from the inside of the metal in preparation for chasing or general shaping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTexture intensity can be varied by adjusting strike force\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePart of the established Fretz Jewelers Hammer line — the original and most popular series in the Fretz range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFretz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHMR-5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmall Embossing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFace Sizes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5mm \u0026amp; 7mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75mm (3\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5 oz.
