مطرقة رفع عريضة، دقيقة الصنع، Fretz HMR-402

The wide face makes scooping out gentle curves in tubing almost effortless, and I love that it cleans up planishing work without leaving harsh dents. It's become my go-to for hollow forms where I need control over depth.

I’ve been using it to shape shallow concave curves on 16-gauge sheet metal, and the wide face distributes the blow so evenly that the metal moves without those deep, ugly dings. It works just as well as a planishing hammer for smoothing out subtle marks—my tool roll feels complete now.

The wide face on this hammer makes shaping shallow curves in tubing feel almost effortless. It also leaves a surprisingly clean finish when I use it for planishing, so I don't have to do much sanding afterward.
