{"product_id":"fretz-large-embossing-hammer","title":"Fretz® Large Embossing Hammer","description":"\u003cp\u003eStretch metal forms from the inside out, create uniform domes, and apply rich organic textures to sheet metal. The Fretz® HMR-4 Large Embossing Hammer combines a precision-cast, hardened stainless steel head with an oil-finished Padauk hardwood handle. Engineered for sinking and repoussé techniques, it features two spherical, highly polished domed faces—15 mm and 12 mm—that stretch sheet metal supported over a leather sandbag or wooden cavity. Doming metal prior to raising increases structural rigidity, making forms easier to guide over stakes. When struck on the exterior against an anvil or metal stake, the HMR-4 leaves a classic dimpled, light-reflective hammered finish across flat or convex surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose the Fretz® HMR-4 Large Embossing Hammer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDual Spherical Domed Faces (15 mm \u0026amp; 12 mm):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e15 mm Domed Face:\u003c\/b\u003e Ideal for broader sinking strokes, expanding large bowl cavities, and creating soft, wide dimpled textures on cuff bracelets and platters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e12 mm Domed Face:\u003c\/b\u003e Concentrates blow force for tighter radial curves, rapid center doming, and smaller, highly defined decorative dimple patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePre-Raising Rigidity Control:\u003c\/b\u003e Stretching and doming sheet metal from the interior stiffens the blank before beginning compression raising courses, preventing edge flapping and unwanted warping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDual-Purpose Sinking \u0026amp; Texturing Action:\u003c\/b\u003e Designed for internal stretching over a leather sandbag or pitch bowl, as well as exterior planishing against a steel stake to produce a bright, faceted peen pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMirror-Polished Stainless Steel Head:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardened striking faces eliminate metal transfer, rust, and surface marring, maintaining clean contact on silver, gold, brass, and copper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErgonomic Padauk Wood Handle (220 mm):\u003c\/b\u003e Contoured handle design provides controlled balance, natural wrist recoil, and reduced grip fatigue during extended forming sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications \u0026amp; Product Matrix\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand Authority\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFretz®\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHMR-4 (Large Embossing Hammer)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHammer Classification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEmbossing \/ Sinking \/ Texturing Hammer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStriking Face Sizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan class=\"math-inline\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e15 mm \u0026amp; 12 mm\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan class=\"math-inline\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFace Profile \u0026amp; Geometry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpherical Ball \/ Deeply Domed (Mirror-Polished)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHead Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan class=\"math-inline\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e74 mm (2.91 in)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan class=\"math-inline\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e220 mm (8.66 in)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHammer Type Category\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMedium Scale\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHead Construction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHigh-Grade Hardened Stainless Steel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Construction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTurned Natural Padauk Hardwood (Oil Finished)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Scope of Application\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInterior doming, sandbag sinking, exterior dimple texturing, repoussé\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Fretz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49278639243364,"sku":"MHFB0054","price":99.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/2902\/9732\/files\/fretz-hmr-4-large-embossing-hammer-steel-head-detail.jpg?v=1789638111","url":"https:\/\/luxgoldtools.com\/products\/fretz-large-embossing-hammer","provider":"LUXGOLDTOOLS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
