<p>To be fair, maple endgrain is softer than steel but it sure dulls an edge quickly! I’d use a beater chisel (or better yet, one on either side of the fret?) but I still love your idea </p>

<p>As fretwire is much softer than steel on a quality chisel I find it doesn’t harm the chisel’s cutting edge.</p>

<p>I've always started with a chisel—usually one I know I'll never use for, you know, <em>chiseling.</em></p>
<p>The chisel helps hold down the wood, too, so I get minimal chipping this way.</p>

<p>My puller is homemade and probably not ground perfect for pulling low frets, the reason my mind said tap a chisel under the fret to raise it slightly. It does work perfectly if you can’t grab onto a fret solidly. When the frets get to .028” or less is when I have problems.</p>

That puller looks great, but I thought the chisel tip (yuk yuk) was handy and I always like when people post stuff like that.

<p>I have never had even extremely low frets that my trusty Hosco fret puller couldn't handle.</p>
<p>Through the years, I have tried numerous tools and techniques for pulling frets and the Hosco is the best I have found. It has extremely sharp edges and just the right angle on the jaws.</p>
