@markbailey I’m so sorry to hear of the horrendous problems you’ve had and your especially your mums health. I do hope she makes a speedy recovery and that you get to see her soon. Your family should...

Thanks everyone for your views, I think that I’m just going to go with the hammer. I like the press idea as I like most task specific tools but for the number of guitars I’ll be making I don’t think t...

Hi @ jonhodgson, that’s an interesting consideration but it does rely on the fret wire being manufactured to a very close tolerance and this isn’t my experience. Maybe brands differ this respect and t...

I’ve used a hammer for years until I started getting hand problems and thought I would try the vice grip type of press from Tonetech. Guess what I’m still undecided. If the slots are the correct size ...

if we want good quality tools, we really do have to pay decent money unfortunately @boo for me with the router it came down more to safety. The Aldi one was also too big for most of what I used a rou...
