StewMac Fretting Hammer, Hammer with plastic and brass faces

Our well-balanced dual-face Fretting Hammer has become a standard tool for fretwork.

The aluminum head is threaded for two replaceable striking surfaces: a low-dent plastic flat face with smooth edges, and a brass convex face that's radiused for installing frets. Sturdy hardwood handle. 

Specs:

• Head striking surface diameter: 7/8" (22.23mm)
• Overall length of the head: 2-3/4" (69.85mm)
• Handle length: 9-1/2" (241.30mm)

Works on stainless frets, too! All of our tools are suitable for use on stainless-steel fretwire, with the exception of our Fret Tang Nippers. Modern stainless-steel fretwire is known to be harder than the traditional nickel-silver blends, but our own shop experience indicates the wire does not cause premature wear of files or sandpapers.
