Closeout Fretz MKR-1 Maker Plannishing Hammer

Fretz is no longer distributing the Maker line of hammers

Now every “maker” can work with quality tools. 

420 Stainless Steel Heads
American Ash Handle
Net Weight 5.6 oz or 168 grams
Premium Fretz Quality at a Lower Price 

The MKR-1 Maker Planishing Hammer has a slightly rounded working end for smoothing non-ferrous forged metal. The rounded end gives the classic planishing mark found on handwrought metal. The other working end is flat which can refine the round planishing marks to near smoothness. A classic working hammer with a bold new profile. 

Fretz Maker hammers are made with the same attention to detail that makes the premium line of Fretz hammers so special. 

With the advent of cheap low quality knock-offs of Fretz hammers coming from Pakistan, Bill and Jordan Fretz have struck back against the copy-cat scammers with the new Maker line of hammers. The Maker line delivers the quality and beauty that jewelers have come to expect from Fretz at a lower price point. Just like the premium line of Fretz hammers, Maker hammers use hand polished 420 stainless steel heads matched with beautifully formed and balanced oil finished handles. The savings comes from a slight redesign on the head shapes and by using North American ash for the handles instead of the more expensive paduk used on the premium lines. The result is a high quality hammer with the great Fretz style and functionality for significantly less expense.
