Fretz is no longer distributing the Maker line of hammers
Now every “maker” can work with quality tools.
MKR-405 Maker Precisionsmith Small Embossing Hammer’s ends are very diminutive and make a delicate dimpled surface. Maker Precisionsmith hammers have 65mm length heads compared to the larger standard Maker hammers which have 70mm long heads. The ends of the Precisionsmith heads are also smaller.
420 Stainless Steel Heads
American Ash Handles
Premium Fretz Quality at a Lower Price
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.
Fretz Maker hammers are made with the same attention to detail that makes the premium line of Fretz hammers so special.
This is a labor intensive hammer as the striking surfaces are very small. Used on small elements it is worth the effort. The texture this hammer produces is particularly interesting when coupled with contrasting smooth areas.
