Product Overview

The KECO K-Power Jr. (Gen 2) Lateral Tension Tool (SKU: 410-8570-KPJ) is a specialized 16-inch system engineered for compact, precision Glue Pull Repair (GPR). While the larger Full-Size (38") and Midrange (26") models are designed for massive panel spread, the K-Power Jr. is optimized for tight damage areas where control and maneuverability are paramount. It is specifically designed to navigate confined spaces, wheel wells, and intricate inner panel structures.

What truly sets the K-Power Jr. apart from the rest of the Gen 2 lineup is the inclusion of KECO's Push Accessory Kit. This dual functionality allows technicians to instantly transition from applying outward lateral tension to executing highly controlled, precision pushing applications. By keeping the force extremely low to the panel, the K-Power Jr. allows for the cleanest metal movement possible without the risk of creating collateral damage.

Key Features

• Compact 16" Beam: The shorter, highly maneuverable 16-inch footprint provides exceptional access in confined areas where a larger lateral tension bar physically cannot fit.

• Push & Pull Versatility: Unlike the larger models, the Jr. includes the KECO Push Accessory Kit directly out of the box, allowing for controlled pushing applications on inner structures.

• 1/4" Impact Receiver: Features the upgraded Gen 2 hex drive mechanism, allowing technicians to use a standard 1/4" cordless impact driver for fast, fatigue-free setup and tension application.

• Outward-Angled Shoes: Precision-machined, high-strength steel legs are angled outward to maximize visibility and working space around the primary damage zone.

• Stationary & Powered Leg Setup: Utilizes one stationary anchoring foot alongside an opposing moving foot that travels under power, delivering incremental, highly controlled Port-a-Power strength.

Ideal Use Cases & Applications

• Tight & Confined Spaces: The go-to tool for isolating and stabilizing damage in restrictive areas, particularly around wheel wells and lower rocker panels.

• Inner Panel Corrections: Highly effective for controlled pushing applications on inner door structures or pillars where precision is favored over maximum spread.

• Detail Collision Work: Perfect for small collision repairs, deep isolated creases, and acute body line damage that require highly focused lateral tension.

Common Questions (FAQs)

Q: How is the K-Power Jr. different from the Midrange or Full-Size versions?
A: While all Gen 2 K-Power tools apply lateral tension, the 16-inch Jr. is intentionally smaller for tight-clearance repairs. More importantly, the Jr. includes a Push Accessory Kit that allows it to perform controlled inward pushing, a feature not standard on the 26" or 38" models.

Q: Can I still use an impact drill to adjust the tension?
A: Yes. Just like the rest of the Gen 2 lineup, the K-Power Jr. features a standard 1/4" hex receiver. You can quickly increase or decrease tension using a standard cordless impact driver.

Q: Does it work with standard KECO tabs?
A: Absolutely. The shoes on the K-Power Jr. are designed to seamlessly accommodate KECO Centipede Tabs, Blade Tabs, and Tab Straps for highly effective lateral and perpendicular pulling.
