Designed for delicate, detail-oriented work, this hammer features two very diminutive round faces — 5mm and 3mm in diameter — that produce a refined, dimpled surface texture on small metal elements. The texture is particularly striking when contrasted with smooth surrounding areas, making this an ideal tool for decorative surface work and fine embossing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePrecisionsmith hammers feature 65mm heads — shorter than the standard Maker line's 70mm heads — with correspondingly smaller face ends, making them especially well-suited for intricate work on small components. The striking surfaces are intentionally labor-intensive to use, but the results on fine elements are well worth the effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maker line was developed by Bill and Jordan Fretz in direct response to low-quality imitations entering the market. Like the premium Fretz line, Maker hammers use hand-polished 420 stainless steel heads paired with oil-finished, beautifully balanced handles. Cost savings come from a refined head shape redesign and the use of North American ash handles in place of the paduk wood used on premium models — without compromising the fit, finish, or functionality that defines Fretz quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo round embossing faces: 5mm and 3mm diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduces a delicate, dimpled surface texture ideal for small metal elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-polished 420 stainless steel head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOil-finished American ash handle — balanced and beautifully formed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 65mm Precisionsmith head — smaller than standard Maker hammer heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTexture pairs especially well with contrasting smooth areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium Fretz quality at a lower price point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMKR-405\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEmbossing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFace Shape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRound\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFace Sizes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5mm dia. \u0026amp; 3mm dia.\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\u003e1.1 oz.
