Fretz® Small Embossing Hammer

Form delicate raised contours, drive high-relief repoussé details from the inside out, and apply micro-stippled textures to precious metal sheet. The Fretz® HMR-5 Medium Small Embossing Hammer features precision-hardened stainless steel striking ends set into a satin-finished cast body, paired with an ergonomic, oil-treated Padauk hardwood handle. Designed specifically for micro-scale metal forming, this specialized hammer features two miniature, mirror-polished round domed faces—5 mm and 3 mm—that access narrow recesses and tight hollow contours to raise metal volumes prior to chasing or detail carving.

Why Choose the Fretz® HMR-5 Small Embossing Hammer

• Dual Micro-Embossing Domed Faces (5 mm & 3 mm):

  • 5 mm Domed Face: Ideal for forming small raised relief areas, dishing miniature bezels, and applying a consistent, fine dimpled texture across metal sheet.

  • 3 mm Micro-Domed Face: Highly concentrated spherical tip drives localized, high-definition bumps and tight interior contours that standard repoussé punches cannot reach directly.

• Versatile Force-Variable Texturing: Striking on the exterior over a smooth anvil or stake produces an intricate, light-refracting micro-peen texture that shifts dynamically with the weight and cadence of your blow.

• Pre-Chasing Volume Preparation: Easily forms raised hollow bosses from the reverse side on a pitch bowl, lead block, or rubber pad, creating clean foundation volumes before front-side chasing.

• Flawless Mirror-Polished Stainless Steel: Precision-ground striking faces prevent galling, metal pickup, or rust, leaving clean, smooth impressions on fine gold, sterling silver, copper, and brass.

• Ergonomic Padauk Wood Handle (220 mm): The turned pistol-grip handle flexes naturally to absorb high-frequency recoil, giving you pinpoint aim and tactile feedback for delicate repoussé work.
