Specialist Hammer for Chasing and Forming in Fine Metalwork

The HMR-408 Rounded Narrow Hammer from the Fretz Precisionsmith Series is a specialised mini hammer designed for embossing, direct chasing, and shaping concave forms in thin metal. Crafted for precision, this tool is ideal for jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths working on fine, delicate projects that require tight control and clean results.

Made with the high-quality standards associated with the Fretz brand and distributed by Pepetools, this hammer delivers both balance and responsiveness, allowing for refined surface manipulation without compromising the integrity of the metal.

Curved Faces for Versatile Metal Movement

The rounded, narrow faces of this hammer—14mm x 4mm and 13mm x 3mm—are particularly suited for creating texture, shaping curves, or chasing fine lines. These curved faces make it easy to work on flat metal without leaving harsh or angular marks, offering excellent control during forming or decorative techniques.

Whether you’re forming domes, pressing into repoussé work, or lightly chasing surface lines, this hammer’s design gives you the precision you need to work in tight areas or on small-scale projects.

Compact Size for Control and Comfort

The miniature head size and 220mm long handle allow for easy handling, making the HMR-408 ideal for tabletop use and close-up work under magnification. The shorter head length (64mm) ensures that the hammer is well balanced in the hand, reducing fatigue and improving accuracy over extended use.

Professional-Grade Tool with USA Craftsmanship

Made in the USA, the HMR-408 is part of the trusted Precisionsmith line, created for professional-level results in jewellery and fine metal fabrication. Whether you’re a seasoned craftsperson or building a specialised toolset, this hammer offers both performance and lasting value.
