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

Product Overview

The KECO GPR+ 18" 75° Shaved Tip Rod (SKU: 387518TT-S) is a specialized Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) access tool engineered for precision metal finishing in severely confined spaces. Designed for professional collision and PDR technicians, this 18-inch rod features a sharp 75-degree bend that terminates in a precision-milled "shaved" tip. This uniquely thinned profile allows the tool to slip effortlessly between double-walled panels, narrow window glass tracks, and tightly bonded structural roof braces where standard bulbous tips would easily become wedged.

To maximize control in these highly restricted areas, the rod is equipped with an oversized 5.5-inch flag handle. This extended handle provides exceptional rotational leverage, converting minimal wrist effort into powerful, highly controlled twists directly at the tip. Manufactured in the USA from premium high-carbon steel and backed by KECO's lifetime warranty, it is an essential rod for executing clean, pinpoint pushes behind complex automotive bracing.

Key Features

• Precision Shaved Tip: The tip has been meticulously milled down to an ultra-thin profile, allowing it to easily wedge into micro-gaps between outer vehicle skins and inner structural skeletons without sacrificing pushing strength.

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

• 5.5-Inch Flag Handle: Features an extra-long 5.5-inch ergonomic flag handle. This oversized grip delivers maximum rotational torque, allowing the technician to perform powerful twisting pushes with almost zero hand or wrist 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 shaft flex.

• American-Made Durability: Built in the USA to withstand the heavy leverage demands of daily auto body shop use, completely backed by KECO's lifetime warranty.

Technical Specifications

Ideal Use Cases & Applications

• Window Tracks & Side Panels: Perfect for sliding down modern, tightly-packed door glass tracks to execute side-impact door ding repairs without requiring a full interior panel teardown.

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

• Pinpoint Rotational Pushing: The combination of the thin shaved tip, the 75-degree bend, and the oversized 5.5-inch flag handle makes this the perfect tool for pinpoint twisting (rotational pushing) to finish out micro-lows.

Common Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is the difference between a "shaved" tip and a standard tip?
A: Standard PDR rod tips are typically fully cylindrical and 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, flattened profile, allowing it to slip into extremely tight gaps while still maintaining the rigid strength needed to push the dent.

Q: Is the handle fixed or adjustable?
A: The 5.5-inch flag handle is permanently fixed to the rod. This solid, one-piece construction guarantees that the handle will never slip or twist on the shaft under heavy pushing pressure, ensuring 100% of your torque goes straight to the dent.

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