Description: Our Fret Puller tool is just for pulling, not cutting, frets. Its spring-loaded flush-ground 1/2" jaws are small enough for a better bite. It helps reduce wood chip-out, and does a better job of getting under frets and lifting them than wider cutters. Features comfortable rubber-coated handles. Our Chip Stoppers™ are a clever solution from Don MacRostie here at StewMac, and a big hit in our shops. If you're tired of gluing back fingerboard chips after pulling up old frets, our steel Chip Stoppers work with our Fret Puller to minimize chip-out. We've put together this money-saving set so you can experience chip-free fret jobs! Combining the Fret Puller with our Chip Stoppers will forever change the way you remove frets. The Chip Stoppers press down on the fingerboard as the Fret Puller takes frets out. The result is fewer chips, and cleaner refrets. Here's how they work together: Heat the fret as usual, with a chisel-tip soldering iron to soften glue under the fret. Lift the end of the fret, getting under it with the jaws of the Fret Puller. Slide the Chip Stopper into place as the fret starts coming out (the .033" x 3" slot fits around the fret tang). Walk the Fret Puller down the length of the fret, lifting it out as the Stopper protects the wood underneath. Most often, you'll use the .020" Chip Stopper. Sometimes the .010" will suit you better, and you can also combine them for a .030" total thickness. The set includes: 1 Fret Puller and 2 Chip Stoppers (one .010"-thick stopper and one .020"-thick stopper)This set of specialty tools will forever change the way you remove fretsIf you're tired of gluing back fingerboard chips after pulling up old frets, our steel Chip Stoppers work with our Fret Puller to minimize chip-outThe Chip Stoppers press down on the fingerboard as the Fret Puller takes frets outDeveloped by Don MacRostie, right here at StewMacThis set includes 1 Fret Puller and 2 Chip Stoppers (each in a different thickness)
