KECO GPR+ 22" 90° Bend Rod with Screw Tip & 3" Flag (MR2) | 330-22SB1190-SC
Product Overview
The KECO GPR+ 22" 90° Bend Rod (SKU: 330-22SB1190-SC) is a professional-grade Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) pushing tool engineered to provide a perfect combination of extended deep reach, extreme leverage, and total tip versatility. Designed for professional collision and PDR technicians, this 22-inch rod features an aggressive 90-degree bend at the toe, making it the ideal tool for snaking behind thick crash bars, roof braces, and tight side panels to hook directly behind hidden dents.
Equipped with an industry-standard interchangeable screw tip, technicians can easily adapt the rod to any repair stage by swapping between sharp metal picks, soft rubber knockdowns, or rounded cherry tips. The tool is driven by an ergonomic 3-inch flag handle that delivers exceptional rotational torque, allowing you to execute powerful, controlled twists deep inside vehicle cavities with minimal wrist fatigue. Manufactured in the USA from premium high-carbon steel and backed by a lifetime warranty, it is an essential long-reach rod for any advanced metal finishing cart.
Key Features
-
22-Inch Extended Reach: The extended 22-inch shaft provides the necessary length to reach deep down into quarter panels, large truck doors, and wide hoods without requiring unstable screw-on extensions.
-
90-Degree Access Bend: The sharp 90-degree toe geometry hooks perfectly onto the backside of the dent, allowing the main shaft to remain clear of internal door structures and window regulators.
-
Interchangeable Screw Tip: Features an industry-standard 5/16"-18 female thread, allowing you to instantly swap out pushing tips (rubber, plastic, metal) to customize your metal-moving strategy.
-
3-Inch Flag Handle: The ergonomic 3-inch flag handle provides an excellent balance of space efficiency and superior rotational leverage. It allows technicians to execute pinpoint twisting pushes rather than tiring up-and-down prying motions.
-
Professional-Grade Steel: Constructed from premium, high-strength PDR steel designed to transfer 100% of your twisting and pushing force directly to the dent without energy-wasting shaft flex.

Common Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is the advantage of a 22-inch length over a 15-inch rod?
A: While 15-inch rods are highly agile in compact spaces, they often fall short when trying to access damage at the very bottom of a door or deep inside a quarter panel through a taillight opening. The 22-inch shaft gives you the necessary reach to access these distant dents without needing to tear down exterior panels.
Q: What tips are compatible with this rod?
A: This rod utilizes the PDR industry-standard 5/16"-18 female thread. It is completely universal and will securely hold standard interchangeable tips from KECO, Dentcraft, A1, Ultra Dent, and other major PDR tool manufacturers.
Q: Will the rod flex when twisting deep inside a panel?
A: No. KECO's professional-grade GPR+ rods are manufactured from hardened steel designed specifically for the unique leverage requirements of Paintless Dent Repair. Even at 22 inches long, the rod will maintain its rigidity under heavy rotational torque.
