These super-small stainless steel hammers are smaller than the Fretz mini hammer line, featuring shorter head lengths (65mm vs. 70mm on average), smaller working surfaces, and thinner handles — all designed for refined control during intricate metalsmithing tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eFretz HMR-401 PrecisionSmith Planishing Hammer\u003c\/strong\u003e carries the same hallmarks of quality that define every Fretz hammer: highly polished, properly hardened stainless steel heads paired with beautifully finished rosewood handles. The balance is exceptional, the stainless steel surface is polished to perfection, and the rosewood handle finish feels extraordinary in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Planishing\u003c\/strong\u003e — as described by Bill Fretz: \u003cem\u003ePlanishing is smoothing metal against a stake by making the blows overlap.\u003c\/em\u003e This is a stretching technique that also forms metal to the underlying stake. The round face smooths out previous raising hammer marks, while the flat face refines those marks to a nearly smooth finish. This hammer is also used to size rings, form bezels, and perform general forming of metal against mandrels and stakes. It is the most-used hammer style in the PrecisionSmith line and by far the most popular.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSave even more when you buy Fretz hammers in sets!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the Fretz PrecisionSmith super-small hammer line for fine, detailed jewelry work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmaller working surfaces and thinner handles compared to the Fretz mini hammer line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardened stainless steel head polished to a high, flawless finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-face design: round face for smoothing raising marks, flat face for refining to a near-smooth finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for planishing, ring sizing, bezel forming, and general metal forming on mandrels and stakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosewood handle with a premium finish for exceptional comfort and grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect balance for controlled, precise hammer blows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHMR-401\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlanishing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFace Shape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFace Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65mm (2‑1\/2\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 oz.
