Fretz HMR-22 Sandstone Texturing Hammer

The Fretz HMR-22 Sandstone Texturing Hammer delivers a distinctive crosshatch surface texture on soft metals including gold, copper, and silver. Part of the renowned Fretz Jewelers Hammers line, this hammer is sized between the smaller Fretz Precisionsmith series and the larger Fretz Silversmithing series—making it the go-to choice for a wide range of metalsmithing and jewelry-forming applications.

Fretz hammers are recognized for two defining qualities: the handle and the head. Together, they create a tool that is as comfortable in the hand as it is precise in use.

Features

• Sandstone crosshatch texturing face produces a rich, consistent surface texture on soft metals such as gold, silver, and copper
• Handle crafted from African Padauk (a type of Rosewood) for a smooth, well-balanced feel—handle weight is proportioned to head weight for optimal balance
• Hammer head cast in 420 stainless steel and hardened to 50Rc for long-lasting durability and performance
• Highly polished head reduces marring on workpieces and maintains surface quality over time
• Handle color may vary from dark brown to lighter shades depending on Fretz's sourcing of recycled Asian Padauk—finish quality is consistent regardless of shade
• Similar in size and profile to other hammers in the Fretz Jewelers Hammers line
