Machined from rugged extruded aluminum, this adapter creates a solid, slip-free mechanical connection designed to bridge your high-leverage pulling systems directly to specialized glue tabs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn modern collision centers across Canada, encountering crowning panels, flared wheel arches, and stylized body creases is a daily reality. Utilizing a standard flat adapter on curved geometry can concentrate uneven leverage or cause the adhesive to release prematurely. By introducing a curved tracking profile, this 65 mm adapter allows technicians to distribute mechanical lifting forces uniformly across contoured sections. It works seamlessly with your existing tool loadouts to provide exceptional pulling control without threatening the vehicle’s original factory finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContoured Surface Optimization:\u003c\/b\u003e Purpose-engineered with a curved footprint to trace the natural lines of rounded body panels, preventing force concentration and maximizing adhesive efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExtruded Aluminum Composition:\u003c\/b\u003e Forged for industrial-grade structural integrity, supplying the sheer strength needed to pull out stubborn, deep-set collision damage without bending or snapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUniversal GPR Integration:\u003c\/b\u003e Features a highly adaptable design that makes K-Bar lifting systems and K-Beam® tension devices universally compatible with KECO Centipede crease tabs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSlide Hammer Compatibility:\u003c\/b\u003e Can easily transition from a steady leverage setup into a dynamic pulling tool by incorporating a separate, standalone KECO Slide Hammer Adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEnhanced Pulling Control:\u003c\/b\u003e Stabilizes the structural joint between the lifter and the tab, allowing technicians to confidently handle high-tension maneuvers across stylized body configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Line \u0026amp;

Using a flat adapter on a curved panel creates uneven pressure points that can snap your glue tab or break your glue bond early. The curved design mirrors the actual panel contours, keeping the mechanical pull perfectly centred and balanced over the tab for a cleaner, stronger lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: Do I need to buy different adapters to use this with my K-Bar and my K-Beam?\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The innovative tracking channel of the 65 mm adapter allows it to slip effortlessly into both the K-Bar leverage lift system and the K-Beam® tension platform, making it a highly cost-effective addition to your mobile cart or repair bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: Can this adapter be safely used with a PDR slide hammer?\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA: \u003c\/strong\u003eYes, it can.
