Fretz® PL-Series Planishing Repoussé and Chasing Tool Set

Perform a wide range of hand-wrought metal shaping and forming tasks with this quality-made, hardened tool-steel punch set from Fretz® Tools. This Fretz PL-series tool set includes nine punches with a range of tip sizes designed for smoothing and refining metal contours using embossing (chasing) techniques. The shank of each tool is squared-off and matte-finished with a 90° twist at the end, providing a secure, slip-free grip while working. The tip of each tool is highly polished with a mirror finish to form without marring the metal surface. Planishing chasing tools are used to smooth the relief areas of an embossed design; these tools are highly polished with shaped tips and usually feature a straight wall that helps them access the floor and walls of free-form and geometric concave areas. Created by expert metalsmith and tool designer Bill Fretz and manufactured for the professional jeweler, the Fretz® line of chasing tools supports your best work with excellent ergonomics and precisely ground and polished surfaces. Each is made from the finest materials for high-quality, repeatable results, maximum durability and long service life.
