HAND HELD FRET PRESS

C$130

For those luthiers who always wanted this professional fretting tool, but were just not willing to pay that high price at Stewmac's,here is an excellent opportunity to purchase one for half the price. It might look a little less fancy , however functionally , I would argue, this one is better. Why? Well, it will get you trough a whole neck.
This was one of the feedback post on their website:
"I purchased this tool to do a re-fret where hammering was not going to be a good option for setting the frets. This tool worked well for what I intended. My only feedback is that it would be nice to have a selection of bottom cauls that would accommodate the transition from the neck to the heel and also for the flat portion of a fender neck at the heel where it mounts to the body. In other words, it would make the tool useful through the full length of a removable neck."

Well , here at Guitarbuilderonline.com we like to solve the shortcomings of some tools.
So we have developed additional two bottom cauls. One for the heel of the neck and the other for a transitional parts, like a first fret on some Fender necks and a portion after 12th fret, close to the heel.
The tool comes with 3 bottom cauls , 5 brass radius inserts ,7-1/4", 9-1/2", 12" and 16", and a special 6"-radius insert to hold down the fret ends for gluing, 1 Allen key.
Additional inserts can be ordered for $5 each.
