For this week’s #tooltalktuesday I am showing off the Fretz® HMR-22 "Sandstone Texture" Hammer sent to me, by our friends at @pepetools_usa the single purpose of this beautiful hammer is to apply a rich texture meant to look like sandstone, when you hammer your metal with overlapping blows. Both faces of this Fretz® texturing hammer have a crosshatch pattern to produce a textured effect on either curved or flat metal. Like all Fretz® hammers this one is incredibly beautiful, has a nice ergonomic handle and is the steel is 420-grade and tool hardened to 50 HRC for maximum durability and effectiveness. If you want to experiment with heavy textures in your work you will absolutely love this hammer, looks great when you patina as well! Huge thank you to our sponsor @pepetools_usa purchasing the hammer through them also helps support the page!
