Otto Frei Basic Jewelers Kit

The Otto Frei Basic Jewelers Kit brings together a carefully balanced selection of reliable bench tools—sourced from around the world—so students and new makers can start fabricating with confidence from day one. At the heart of the kit are genuine Swiss-made Glardon-Vallorbe hand and needle files, prized for their consistent cutting performance and precise control. Savings are built in through value-line pliers and hammers alongside a USA-made rawhide mallet in place of pricier alternatives, while core precision pieces—digital caliper, machinist square, bench knife, Swiss saw blades, and more—remain uncompromised. The result is a well-rounded starter kit covering measuring, layout, sawing, filing, forming, and basic solder prep.
