C.S. Osborne No. 255 Rubber-End Webbing Stretcher
When to choose it
The Osborne 255 puts six steel pins at one end of a compact maple body and a corrugated rubber contact at the other. The pins catch the strip while the rubber end bears against the frame. Compare those two points against the rail before trying to hold the webbing and fix the free end in the same space.
At eight inches overall, this model occupies less space end to end than the Osborne 253 gooseneck. Compare the 253 when you need its projecting handle to reach near the rail. Use the intended webbing and attachment instructions to decide which contact arrangement makes sense.
