Narrow Fretting Mallet. 18mm Faces with Wooden Handle

Narrow Mallet with 18mm heads.

Specification
This mallet has faces of 18mm diameter. It's total weight is 90g. It has a wooden handle and is 220mm in length. The heads are one soft and one hard rubber end. The ends are able to be unscrewed and replaced.

Usage
This mallet is an inexpensive soft headed mallet. It can be used for fret installation and its narrow width means it can get between the high frets. It is very light weight allowing many little taps to be applied with ease. Our sales over several years of the bigger version of this (weighing 600g - also built by AmTech) for fretwork make us confident in recommending this general purpose soft headed mallet for light use in fretwork. The heads - one soft and one hard- are really useful so you can go gently to start with the soft head and then issue a few well positioned strikes to make sure the fret is fully driven into the slot - with the hard head.

Suitability
If you are occasionally installing a few frets, for example doing a partial refret of the low frets, then this mallet offers an inexpensive tool which has a proven track record for this work.

If you are re-fretting whole fretboards every day then our professional fretting hammer will be more suitable.
