{"product_id":"fretz-rounded-wide-raising-hammer","title":"Fretz® Rounded Wide Raising Hammer","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlock hollowware bowls, sink wide metal strips into fluid concave contours, and stretch precious metal sheet from the inside without leaving sharp tool marks. The Fretz® HMR-9 Medium Rounded Wide Raising Hammer features a precision-hardened stainless steel head mounted on an oil-treated Padauk hardwood handle. Engineered with a wider, elongated elliptical cross-peen geometry, it offers dual working faces: 19 mm x 10 mm and 19 mm x 7 mm. By combining the broad surface coverage of a raising hammer with the curved, non-gouging profile of an embossing hammer, the HMR-9 allows metalsmiths to stretch and form wide concave curves and bowls smoothly over sandbags, wooden forms, and curved stakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose the Fretz® HMR-9 Rounded Wide Raising Hammer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDual-End Rounded Elliptical Faces (19x10 mm \u0026amp;
