His personal collection is extensive yet purposeful — he can explain in precise detail why one tool is made correctly for a task while a remarkably similar-looking tool falls short. The details matter, and for goldsmithing in the classic tradition as taught by Alan Revere, there are quite a few details to sort out. This kit brings together two of his signature hammers: the Fretz-Revere Chasing\/Riveting Hammer and the Fretz-Revere Goldsmithing\/Cross Peen Hammer, each designed to exacting specifications developed in collaboration with Alan Revere himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-hammer kit combining the Fretz-Revere Chasing\/Riveting (R-CR) and Goldsmithing\/Cross Peen (R-GF) hammers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandles feature a distinctive, deep texture worked to Alan Revere's specifications for enhanced sensitivity and grip — unlike the smooth polished handles of standard Fretz hammers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eR-GF Goldsmithing\/Cross Peen:\u003c\/strong\u003e domed goldsmithing face for precise radial forging and planishing; larger cross peen face for stretching metal in one direction, raising, or texturing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eR-GF handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e round (non-pistol) shape chosen for superior sturdiness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eR-GF head:\u003c\/strong\u003e smaller profile yet surprisingly hefty and well balanced in hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eR-CR Chasing\/Riveting:\u003c\/strong\u003e flat 25mm (approx. 1\") round chasing face for striking tools such as center punches and chasing punches — flat profile prevents strike from sliding off target\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eR-CR handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e thinner pistol-grip shape for excellent balance suited to chasing work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eR-CR cross peen face:\u003c\/strong\u003e riveting-style head ideal for upsetting and spreading rivet ends when cold-joining; also suitable for texturing and light raising\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eR-CR chasing face features a standard machine finish — a practical choice since this face strikes tools, not jewelry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth R-GF faces can be maintained with Scotch-Brite® or 220-grit abrasive paper — no polishing required unless the hammer is the final tool to contact the work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eR-CR hammer requires no maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 hammers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIncluded Part #1\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e137.170 – Fretz-Revere R-CR Chasing\/Riveting Hammer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIncluded Part #2\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e137.171 – Fretz-Revere R-GF Goldsmithing\/Cross Peen Hammer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eR-CR Chasing Face Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mm (approx. 1\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eR-CR Chasing Face Profile\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eR-CR Handle Shape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePistol grip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eR-GF Goldsmithing Face Profile\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDomed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eR-GF Handle Shape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRound\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHandle Finish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDeep textured (both hammers)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e137.170 Fretz-Revere R-CR Chasing\/Riveting Hammer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e137.171 Fretz-Revere R-GF Goldsmithing\/Cross Peen Hammer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Fretz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43582692262102,"sku":"137.170KIT","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9832\/0342\/files\/fretz-revere-hammer-kit-of-2-otto-frei.jpg?v=1719956900","url":"https:\/\/www.ottofrei.com\/products\/fretz-revere-hammer-kit-2-chasing-riveting-goldsmithing-cross-peen","provider":"Otto Frei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
