  • Anyone tried this Fret Press? or Is Jaws better?

    I am thinking about getting one of these. Has anyone used one? I am thinking this one ( in the link), or the StewMac jaws. I have seen some of the homemade ones., But making one myself is not my thing.

    Can the original "Jaws" pliers work on the higher frets of a Les Paul?

    I see this is a bit necrotic but I have an opinion. Jaws is fine for repair work. A press like above is good for most frets on a Les Paul but you will either have to get out the hammer or use a drill press with a fret arbor chucked in to work over the body.
