Pressing in frets is the most consistent way to get every fret seated along its whole length. Pressing frets into a guitar fingerboard is quicker than hammering them. It also has the advantage that the entire fret is pressed in one operation, eliminating the possibility that an end will not be seated right or the fret will be deformed by the hammer. The Handheld Fret Press is a professional fretting tool that gives you fine control over the pressure needed to seat a fret into the slot. It eliminates complicated clamping setups, so your press-in fret jobs go faster. It fits a range of brass inserts which are available in different radii to suit all guitar fingerboards. It works the same way as pliers, squeezing the fret in as you pull the handles together. It has a fine thumbwheel adjustment for clamping pressure. A clamp release lever unlocks the tool. The jaws open enough to accommodate any instrument neck. There's a self-levelling upper caul that adjusts easily to any neck and it fits a range of brass Fret Press Inserts, which are available in different radii to suit all guitar fingerboards (more info below). Four different padded neck rests are included for acoustic guitar, classical guitar and mandolin/ukulele necks as well as a flat dest for unshaped necks and fingerboards.
