- Hosco/3 peaks brand - Fret Puller
- Made in Japan
- Precisely ground 10mm jaws
- Black rubber gripped handle (originally blue)
- Overall Length approx. 6” (150mm)
These are the best fret pullers available. The narrow jaws work better than other fret pullers on radius fretboards. With the shallow angle of the jaws, you will wedge the frets out of their slots slower and have less fingerboard chipping.
Remember these are for pulling frets and not cutting. DO NOT USE TO CUT FRETWIRE.
In order to pull frets cleanly it is recommended you use a soldering iron to heat the fretwire. This will help soften the fingerboard and loosen any glue that might be holding the frets.
After heating the fret, you will be using the pliers to pinch the frets out and not pull the frets. Each squeeze of the pliers will wedge the fretwire slowly out of its slot. Make sure that the face of the pliers stays in contact with the fingerboard at all times. Continue walking the pullers from one end of the fret to the other while slowly squeezing the pliers to remove the fretwire. Go slowly so you don’t have any chipping problems.

It just works.
This fret puller just works. I had vintage style frets that was so heavily worn down the guitar more or less looked like a fretless neck, and these pliers were more than up to the task of grabbing on to whatever little metal was left, instinctively going "under" the fret, and very precisely removing the fret. No chipouts no headaches. For a first time user, this thing is pure joy to use. Highly highly recommend!

Worth every penny
These are the first pair of fret pullers that I've ever bought. I was hesitant to buy them at first until I saw a review from a local pro. Thanks to his review I bought them and I was able to pull all 24 frets from a practice neck with ease.

A+ Quality
These pliers are worth every penny and more. As soon as I opened saw them I could tell they would work the way I need them to. The edges are sharp and finely honed. They come together with no gaps and the angles are perfect for getting under the fret without maring the fretboard. These are of the finest quality.

Yes, they are the best!
Ok, when somebody says "best" I am always skeptical. But in this case, they aren't kidding. I have used and made a few different fret pullers, but these kill them all. I could tell that even before I bought them, by looking at the photos. If you're going to re-fret some ebony boards, you need these. Don't expect miracles, you might still get some minor chipping on a dried older ebony board, but this tool will keep that down to minimum as best as can be expected. They're not cheap, but worth every penny!
