Our well-balanced dual-face 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.

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 and Fret Cutters.
