Part of the largest series in the Fretz hammer line, the HMR-108 is comparable in scale to full-size silversmith hammers and is built for demanding raising work on larger projects. The hardened stainless steel head is polished to a flawless finish, and the rosewood handle is finished to an exceptional standard—offering a balance and feel that experienced metalworkers will immediately appreciate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaising is the compression of metal down to the stake without stretching it. The technique requires angling the metal off the stake to create an air gap for compression. The rounded narrow raising head geometry of the HMR-108 makes it well suited for raising sheet metal into bowls against wooden or metal T-stakes, raising cylinders to form concave shapes, and planishing subtle concave forms. As with all hammers in the Fretz line, the appropriate size is dictated by the scale of the work—this large hammer is intended for larger, more substantial projects.\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\u003eLarge-series Fretz raising hammer comparable to full-size silversmith hammers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRounded narrow raising head profile for compressing metal against a stake without stretching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuited for raising sheet metal into bowls, forming concave shapes in cylinders, and planishing subtle concave surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardened stainless steel head polished to a high-quality surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosewood handle with a refined finish for exceptional grip and feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWell-balanced construction for extended use on larger metalsmithing work\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-108\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRounded Narrow Raising\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFace Sizes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 × 6mm \u0026amp; 22 × 9mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100mm (4\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.2 oz.
