Form small cylinders, seamless concave vessels, and intricate hollowware with the authentic Fretz® HMR-3 Narrow Raising Hammer. Precision-engineered for silversmiths, custom jewelry artisans, and metal artists, this medium-weight forming hammer features slender, elongated heads with dual rectangular faces measuring 20mm × 6mm and 20mm × 5mm. The narrow profiles allow the hammer to clear restricted clearances and reach deeply into tight curves during raising, planishing, and light forging operations. Paired with an ergonomically contoured hardwood handle, it delivers precise striking control and consistent energy transfer across gold, silver, copper, and brass.

Key Features & Benefits

• Slender Dual Raising Faces: Features two highly polished, slightly convex rectangular faces (20mm × 6mm and 20mm × 5mm) that compress metal smoothly against stakes without leaving harsh cross-marks.

• Deep Access for Restricted Geometries: The compact 74mm head length and tapered neck design fit easily into narrow cylinders, miniature spouts, and tight concave radiuses that standard wide-face raising hammers cannot clear.

• Multi-Process Versatility: Designed primarily for traditional raising techniques over silversmithing stakes, it also excels at localized planishing and delicate wire or rod forging.

• Ergonomic Contoured Hardwood Handle: The 220mm finished wooden handle is shaped with a custom grip profile to reduce wrist fatigue, improve swing rebound, and maintain natural bench alignment.

• Mirror-Polished Working Ends: Hardened stainless steel faces are buffed to a fine mirror polish, preventing surface marring and reducing subsequent abrasive finishing steps on precious metals.
