Canne à pêche KECO GPR+ 18" à pointe ronde rasée à 75° avec drapeau de 5,5"

Product Overview

The KECO GPR+ 18" 75° Shaved Round Tip Rod (SKU: 330-18SB975-RT) is a highly specialized Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) access tool engineered for precision metal moving in the tightest automotive cavities. Designed for professional technicians, this 18-inch rod features a unique 75-degree bend that terminates in a specialized "shaved round" tip. This shaved profile drastically reduces the thickness of the toe, allowing the tool to slip effortlessly between double-walled panels, down window glass tracks, and beneath tight structural roof braces where a standard bulky tip would get lodged.

To maximize the tool's effectiveness in confined spaces, KECO has equipped it with an oversized 5.5-inch flag handle. This extended handle provides immense rotational leverage, converting minimal wrist effort into powerful, controlled twists at the tip. Manufactured in the USA from premium, high-strength materials and backed by KECO's lifetime warranty, it is an essential rod for executing clean, highly controlled pushes in structurally complex areas.

Key Features

• Shaved Round Tip: The tip is precisely milled down (shaved) to a thin profile, allowing it to slide into ultra-narrow gaps between braces and outer panels, while the rounded edge ensures it moves metal smoothly without piercing or leaving sharp micro-highs.

• 75-Degree Access Bend: The sharp 75-degree toe geometry hooks perfectly onto the backside of the dent, allowing the main shaft to remain clear of internal door crash bars or window regulators.

• 5.5-Inch Flag Handle: Features an extra-long 5.5-inch ergonomic flag handle. This provides maximum rotational torque, allowing the technician to perform powerful twisting pushes with minimal hand fatigue.

• Professional-Grade Steel: Constructed from premium, high-strength PDR steel designed to transfer 100% of your twisting force directly to the dent without energy-wasting flex.

• Lifetime Warranty: Built to withstand the daily rigours of professional auto body and PDR work, completely backed by KECO's lifetime warranty.

Technical Specifications

Ideal Use Cases & Applications

• Window Tracks & Doors: Perfect for sliding down modern, tightly-packed door glass tracks to repair side-impact door dings without requiring a full interior teardown.

• Under Structural Bracing: The shaved tip profile allows the tool to wedge securely between the outer skin and the inner structural bracing of hoods, roofs, and trunk lids to access hidden damage.

• High-Torque Twisting: The combination of the 75-degree bend and the oversized 5.5-inch flag handle makes this the ideal tool for twisting (rotational pushing) out dents rather than prying up and down.

Common Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is the benefit of a "shaved" tip?
A: Standard PDR rod tips can be too thick to fit between the outer sheet metal and the inner structural skeleton of modern vehicles. A shaved tip has the excess material milled away to create a much thinner profile, allowing it to slip into these micro-gaps while still maintaining the strength needed to push the dent.

Q: Is the tip sharp?
A: No. While it is shaved thin for access, the actual pushing surface is "round." This ensures that when you twist the tool against the back of the panel, it moves the metal cleanly and softly, rather than creating sharp, hard-to-tap-down high spots like a needle or sharp pick would.

Q: Can I change the tip on this rod?
A: No. This rod features a specialized, permanently fixed shaved round tip. The fixed design is necessary to maintain the ultra-thin profile and maximum structural integrity required for tight access pushing.
