When to choose it

Choose the 869 P when a compact groove-end stretcher fits beside your rail. Osborne uses a hard plastic body and lists the whole tool at three ounces. The groove is part of how the tool sits while you tension the strip, so compare that contact against the actual edge of the frame.

The 869 P is 6 13/16 inches long and 2⅞ inches wide. If you need a corrugated rubber contact instead, compare the maple No. 255. If your webbing calls for a toothless grip, compare the English-pattern No. 205 and check whether you can feed the strip through it.

Questions about this product

What should I check if I want a rubber bearing surface?

Compare the Osborne 255, which has a corrugated rubber end.

Does a groove-end tool grip without teeth?

The product image shows a pin row opposite the groove. Compare the toothless No. 205 if you need that grip.

Is 2⅞ inches the width of the groove?

Osborne specifies that figure for the overall tool width. Check the groove against your frame separately.
