Category: Hammers

A substitute for HMR-12 when textures on wire or very small surfaces are desired.

This is the Fretz Short Sharp Texturing/Raising Hammer No. 13, with a handle length of 225mm (8-7/8") and a hammer head length of 72mm (2-7/8")

The hardened stainless steel heads are polished to perfection, and the rosewood handles have a special finish that feels downright sensual. No kidding, the rosewood handles and finished so well that they just plain feel good in you hand. The balance is perfect, and the polished stainless steel surface is exceptional.

Here is what Bill Fretz has to say about Raising:

Raising is the compression of metal down to the stake without stretching it. The trick is to angle the metal off the stake so that there is an air gap for the compression.

Face sizes 15mm x 1mm and 15mm x 1.5mm
Head length 72mm
Handle length 220mm
Type Medium

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Daniel W. ★★★★★

The textured face on this hammer leaves a really nice pattern on tiny bezel wires—exactly what I needed for detailed work. For such a small tool, the weight and balance feel surprisingly solid.

Amelia ★★★★★

The handle length is perfect for getting into tight spots, and the sharp tip really grabs onto wire without slipping. I’ve used it on a few small bezels and the texture it leaves is much more controlled than my old chasing hammer.

Ruby ★★★★★

The compact 8-7/8 inch handle gives me precise control for getting textures into tiny wire crevices, and the head weight feels perfectly balanced. It’s become my go-to for adding fine detail work where my larger hammer is just too clumsy.
