Our fret pulling options include a purpose designed fret puller and fret pulling pliers.
 
Both items are available separately from the menu.
 
The combined set offers increased options for removing frets that are difficult to grip against or lift away from the fretboard.
 
TOOL #1 - FRET PULLER / PRIZING TOOL
The tool design features specially shaped tips which contact the underside of the fret either side of the tang. By using leverage via the tool resting on the fret guard, the fret end can be prized up. The tool is beneficial where a grip from traditional pliers is not effective. (Fret guard is included with tool #1).
 
Tool #1 Contents:
Fret Puller / Prizing Tool
Fret Guard / Fretboard Protector
 
The fret puller tips are manufactured from ground gauge plate/knife steel. The steel is through hardened having good strength combined with high surface hardness. The tips can be dressed with a diamond file. Spare Tool Tips are also available.
 
TOOl #2 - FRET PULLING PLIERS
The pliers feature two modifications:-
The outside face is dressed to ensure firm grip at the bottom of the fret. In addition to this, the inside of the jaws are modified with internal scallops for access underneath the fret.
 
Please note that the modification removes a degree of hardness from the contact edges and as such the pliers are not suitable for cutting purposes.
 
Tool #2 Contents:
Fret Pulling Pliers
 
NOTE
For both options some splitting of the wood as frets are removed is unavoidable and small cosmetic repairs to the fretboard may be necessary.
