Description

The Fretz HMR-101 is a large planishing hammer built to the classic size and weight of a traditional planishing hammer, making it versatile for small to very large planishing tasks. The hardened stainless steel heads are polished to perfection, and the rosewood handles carry a special finish that feels exceptionally comfortable in the hand. Balance and surface quality are hallmarks of this tool, making it the most-used and most popular hammer style in the Fretz lineup.

Planishing is the technique of smoothing metal against a stake by making overlapping blows — a stretching method that also forms the metal to the underlying stake. The round face smooths out previous raising hammer marks, while the flat face refines those marks to a nearly smooth finish. This hammer is also used for sizing rings, forming bezels, and general metal forming against mandrels and stakes.

Features

  • Classic large planishing hammer size and weight — suitable for a wide range of planishing tasks
  • Hardened stainless steel heads polished to a high-quality finish
  • Dual-face design: round face removes raising hammer marks; flat face refines to near-smooth finish
  • Ideal for sizing rings, forming bezels, and working metal against mandrels and stakes
  • Rosewood handle with a special finish for superior comfort and grip
  • Exceptional balance for extended use

Fretz Large Hammer HMR-101-Planishing

I bought this for my wife who makes jewelry. When I saw the box I thought, Oh no, that’s way too small. But once the hammer was in my hand I realized it was perfect. Our first Fretz. Very well made and quite beautiful. Feels great in the hand.

Fretz planishing hammer

Great hammer with a nice weight and great hand feel. Does a lovely planishing job as the faces are ultra smooth.
