FRET PULLER / FRET REMOVAL TOOL COMBINATION

Fret Puller Combo Set | GMC Luthier Tools

The Fret Puller / Fret Removal Tool Combination is a specially designed set comprising of a purpose designed fret removal tool and additional flush ground fret pulling pliers. The set offers increased options for the clean removal of fret wire. The tools are ergonomically designed for maximum grip of the fret and protection for the fretboard face.

TOOL #1 - FRET PULLER / PRIZING TOOL


The tool design is unique and features special tips which are designed to penetrate the underside of the fret either side of the tang.  By using gentle leverage and pressure obtained by the contour of the tool resting on the fretboard protector, the fret end can be carefully prized up.


The 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. Tip breakage is uncommon however Spare Tool Tips can be purchased from the webstore.



TOOl #2 - FRET PULLING PLIERS

With the frets end prized away, the job of lifting the remainder of the fret with the pliers is much easier.

The contact edges of the pliers are dressed both internally and externally to a sharp corner to ensure flat seating on the fretboard and easy access underneath the fret.
