These tools crossover nearly every metal craft including sculptor, artist blacksmith, custom auto body worker, armourer, copper, silver and goldsmith. They are for working on metal in scales ranging from the large statues to fine jewelry. And except for scale they are very much the same. They have rounded edges and polished faces designed to move metal, not cut it. But they are also infinite in shape ranging from chisel like to V-mouthed as well as flat, rounded, angled, stepped and in various cross sections including round, square, ovoid, rectangular, triangular and tear drop. Size can vary from those struck with a sledge hammer to a pencil point. This is the world of repousse'.

The best way to describe Fretz forming stakes? Perfected precision, Unrivaled quality. And what can we say…so darn nice to look at! Form dramatic curves of varying arcs.Once you pick one up & understand the technique, you may never put it down. Perform chasing, planishing, raising and texturing with the effectiveness and comfort that Fretz hammers promise. Learn how a Fretz hammer, anvil or stake can take your metal-forming to the new level.

These chasing hammers have Paduck pistol griped handles, and highly polished stainless steel cast heads. The head on the Fretz chasing hammer is hardened to 50Rc on the Rockwell scale, but keep in mind that the Fretz chasing hammers are the only hammers in the Fretz collection that are meant to be used against a tool and not directly on metal, meaning that the polished head may become marred during normal use. All Fretz hammers are hand finished, variations in head diameter size can occur, as no two hammers are exactly alike.

Fretz bench anvils are made of highly polished cast 420 stainless steel and then mounted onto a beautifully finished round of Padauk hardwood, once again creating an example of the Fretz tool magic-outstanding design blended with the best quality materials and craftsmanship. The anvils measure 70mm in diameter.

While these tools may simply look great on your bench, they are built for a lifetime of use shaping and forming metal. The wood bases have rubber feet to keep the anvils stable and in place and adding cushioning when in use.
