Its head measures 65mm long with polished ends approximately 25% smaller in diameter than those on the MKR-2. This hammer is also used for forming thin metal into concave shapes on miniature stakes, making it a precise and versatile tool for fine metalwork and jewelry fabrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Maker line was developed by Bill and Jordan Fretz in direct response to cheap, low-quality imitations entering the market. The goal: deliver the same quality and craftsmanship jewelers expect from Fretz at a more accessible price point. Maker hammers feature hand-polished 420 stainless steel heads paired with beautifully formed, oil-finished handles of North American ash — a strong, well-balanced hardwood that replaces the paduk used in Fretz's premium line. The result is a high-quality hammer with authentic Fretz style, feel, and functionality at a lower cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFretz Maker hammers are made with the same attention to detail that makes the premium line of Fretz hammers so special.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelicate crosspein raising hammer ideal for texturing round wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for forming thin metal into concave shapes on miniature stakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-polished 420 stainless steel head for durability and fine finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOil-finished North American ash handle for balance and comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the Fretz Maker line — premium quality at a lower price point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmaller and lighter than the MKR-2, with polished ends ~25% smaller in diameter\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\u003eRaising\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 Sizes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 x 8mm \u0026amp; 15 x 6mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.3 oz.
