FRET PULLER - Removing frets without pliers
When a grip from traditional fret pliers is difficult to obtain, our purpose designed Fret Puller offers an alternative solution.
The design features specially shaped tips manufactured from knife steel which bite underneath the end of the fret. By using leverage via the tool applying pressure over the fret guard, the fret end can be eased from the edge of the fretboard. As the fret begins to lift away, the tool is drawn back along the fret using a rocking action.
Soft frets will curl and be enclosed within the tool. Hard frets will remain straighter as they are levered out.
NOTE:
Fret pulling is affected by variables including the standard of the original fretting and the age or condition of the guitar. Splitting of the wood as the frets are removed may occur and cosmetic repairs to the fretboard may be necessary.
