The \u003cstrong\u003eHMR-409 PrecisionSmith Wide Raising Hammer\u003c\/strong\u003e features a hardened stainless steel head polished to an exceptional finish, paired with a rosewood handle finished to a sensual smoothness that feels perfectly balanced in hand. With a shorter head length and smaller working surfaces than the Fretz Mini line, PrecisionSmith hammers deliver the control required for the most exacting metalsmithing tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Wide Raising Hammer is specifically designed for raising — the compression of metal down to a stake without stretching it. As Bill Fretz describes it, the technique requires angling the metal off the stake to create an air gap for compression. This hammer excels at raising sheet metal into a bowl shape against a wooden or metal t-stake, forming concave shapes inside cylinders, and planishing subtle concave surfaces with finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the Fretz PrecisionSmith super-small hammer line, designed for precise, detailed jewelry work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardened stainless steel head polished to a high, mirror-quality finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual rounded faces: 13.5 × 5mm and 13.5 × 7mm — ideal for raising and planishing concave forms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShorter head length (65mm) and smaller working surfaces than the Fretz Mini hammer line for greater precision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosewood handle with a special finish for exceptional grip comfort and balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for raising sheet metal into bowls against wooden or metal t-stakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffective for forming concave shapes in cylinders and planishing subtle concave profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWide Raising\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFace Shape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRounded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFace Sizes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.5 × 5mm \u0026amp; 13.5 × 7mm\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\u003e1.3 oz.
