Execute seamless ring sizing, metal planishing, and non-marring sheet forming with the authentic Fretz® HMR-6 Planishing Hammer. Specially designed for bench jewelers seeking a single versatile hammer to streamline daily sizing and shaping workflows, the HMR-6 combines a mirror-polished, slightly domed metal face with a removable flat plastic insert on the opposing end. This hybrid layout allows goldsmiths and silversmiths to switch instantly between non-marring contour correction on ring shanks and crisp planishing on precious metals without reaching for a second tool.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Dual-Material Versatility in a Single Tool: Engineered with a flat, high-density plastic face on one end and a slightly domed polished metal face on the other, eliminating the need to swap between a steel hammer and a mallet at the bench.
-
Non-Marring Removable Plastic Insert: The 19mm flat plastic end forms and stretches metal over ring mandrels while leaving precious metal surfaces smooth and free of tool marks. Secured firmly with a set screw, it is easily replaced or serviced using a standard hex key.
-
Slightly Domed Polished Steel Face: The 19mm metal face is machined with a subtle crown to optimize contact on flat and convex profiles, preventing edge gouging during planishing passes.
-
Ergonomically Shaped Hardwood Handle: The 220mm contoured wooden handle provides optimal balance and natural wrist snap, minimizing hand fatigue during repetitive ring sizing and forging.
-
Cast 420 Stainless Steel Head: Heat-treated for lasting durability and hardened to maintain precision face geometry under everyday shop use.
