C.S. Osborne No. 268 Lever Stretcher for Sinuous Springs
When to choose it
Choose this lever when the part you need to reach is a sinuous seat spring and its front frame clip. Osborne describes hooking the spring into the rear clip first and pulling it into position from the front. Inspect the two attachment points before choosing a tool for the work.
If the loose part is a webbing strip rather than a metal spring, compare a webbing stretcher designed to grip the material. For the No. 268, verify that you can engage the spring end and that the frame leaves room to position the lever at the front clip.
