Apply crisp parallel striations and form acute concave contours on miniature jewelry components with the authentic Fretz® HMR-13 Short Sharp / Texture Raising Hammer. Engineered specifically as a compact alternative to the HMR-12, this medium-weight specialty hammer features shortened dual cross-chisel faces measuring 15 mm x 1 mm and 15 mm x 1.5 mm on a 72 mm cast stainless steel head. The reduced 15mm face length concentrates striking kinetic energy onto tiny target zones, making it the ideal tool for texturing narrow round or square wire, accenting miniature bezels, and executing sharp, localized raising folds without striking adjacent surface details.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Compact 15mm Face Length for Micro-Targeting: Shortened from the standard 19mm profile of the HMR-12, the 15mm blade length isolates impacts onto narrow round wire, square stock, and miniature findings without edge spillover.
-
Dual Ultra-Narrow Chisel Profiles (1 mm & 1.5 mm): Delivers crisp, defined linear ridges that produce shimmering bark, cross-hatch, and striated light-reflecting textures on small jewelry shanks and delicate ear wires.
-
Extreme Miniature-Radius Raising: Narrow cross-sections access restricted recesses, driving thin sheet metal into tiny creasing dies and tight swage blocks to create crisp inward ribs and severe bends.
-
Mirror-Polished 420 Stainless Steel Working Ends: Precision-cast and hardened stainless steel faces are buffed to a flawless mirror luster, ensuring every strike burnishes clean linear troughs without tearing metal fibers or depositing tool marks.
-
Ergonomic Contoured Hardwood Handle: The 220 mm turned wooden handle provides responsive swing control, comfortable finger positioning, and natural wrist recoil, preventing hand strain during high-repetition micro-texturing passes.
