- Hosco/3 peaks brand - Fret Puller
- Made in Japan
- Precisely ground 10mm jaws
- Black rubber gripped handle (originally blue)
- Overall Length approx. 6” (150mm)
These are the best fret pullers available. The narrow jaws work better than other fret pullers on radius fretboards. With the shallow angle of the jaws, you will wedge the frets out of their slots slower and have less fingerboard chipping.
Remember these are for pulling frets and not cutting. DO NOT USE TO CUT FRETWIRE.
In order to pull frets cleanly it is recommended you use a soldering iron to heat the fretwire. This will help soften the fingerboard and loosen any glue that might be holding the frets.
After heating the fret, you will be using the pliers to pinch the frets out and not pull the frets. Each squeeze of the pliers will wedge the fretwire slowly out of its slot. Make sure that the face of the pliers stays in contact with the fingerboard at all times. Continue walking the pullers from one end of the fret to the other while slowly squeezing the pliers to remove the fretwire. Go slowly so you don’t have any chipping problems.

Hands down, this is the best tool
Throw away those $5.00 nippers that you ground down. This puller is superior and gets under the edge of the fret even if the fret is seated flush with no bend. Easier to walk the fret out too. Thanks Kenny.

Believe the "best available" in the title
These really are the best fret pulling pliers in existence. I'm actually repurposing my Stew Mac and other pullers just to justify their place in my shop because they are simply not even remotely close to the quality of these. I stripped an entire fretboard, with no chips, in under two minutes on the first use. I would recommend them to everyone.
