This model is similar to the HMR-102 but features larger faces, making it well suited for working on larger-scale raising projects. The hardened stainless steel head is polished to a flawless finish, and the rosewood handle is finished with exceptional care — balance and feel in hand are hallmarks of the Fretz large hammer series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handle measures 250mm (9-7\/8\") in length, and the hammer head measures 105mm (4\") in length. The two rectangular faces measure 23 x 13mm and 23 x 10mm respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra wide raising faces — larger than the standard HMR-102 model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardened stainless steel head polished to a high, even surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo rectangular faces: 23 x 13mm and 23 x 10mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosewood handle with a refined finish for superior grip and comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced weight distribution suited for extended forming work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the Fretz Large Hammer series, the largest in the Fretz range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Raising\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaising is the compression of metal down to the stake without stretching it. The key technique is to angle the metal off the stake so that an air gap allows for compression. The wide raising hammer can be used to raise sheet metal into a bowl shape against a wooden stake or a metal t-stake. It is also effective for raising in cylinders to form a concave shape, and for planishing subtle concave surfaces. The size of the hammer should match the scale of the work — larger projects call for the large hammer series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHMR-102P\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExtra Wide Raising\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFace Shape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRectangular\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFace Sizes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23 x 13mm \u0026amp; 23 x 10mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHandle Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250mm (9-7\/8\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e105mm (4\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardened stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRosewood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVietnam\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFretz hammers are also available in sets — purchasing a set may offer additional savings when building out a raising or forming toolkit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fretz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43580993437910,"sku":"137.232A","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9832\/0342\/files\/fretz-large-hammer-hmr-102p-extra-wide-raising-otto-frei-1.jpg?v=1719957815","url":"https:\/\/www.ottofrei.com\/products\/fretz-raising-hammer-hmr-102p-extra-wide-large","provider":"Otto Frei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
