This fretting hammer is the ideal size and weight for installing frets. A UHMW plastic head for starting the frets and the brass head for seating the frets. The slightly domed brass head allows easy installation of the fret without hitting the adjacent fret. Both heads thread into the machined steel head. The hardwood hickory handle is pressed into a special bushing and then pinned to the head. No loose or wobbly heads here!

Worth the bit extra
I decided to upgrade my fret hammer from my old hardware store brass end one to this one. There is a clear difference in quality, weight, and balance. Philadelphia Lutherie strikes a nice balance between quality and affordability. I recently used ‘those other guys’ one and find that this one is just as good at a much better price.
