Description Product Overview The Crain 155 Bent Stair Tool is a specialised carpet installation tool designed to improve access when tucking carpet into difficult areas such as toe spaces, under Z-bars, and beneath heat registers. Its offset, bent blade design allows installers to achieve angles that standard straight stair tools cannot, improving efficiency and finish quality in confined spaces. Used with a mallet, the tool drives carpet securely into position while maintaining control and reducing the risk of damage to surrounding surfaces. The smooth tapered blade ensures the carpet is tucked cleanly without snagging or cutting fibres. The Crain 155 Bent Stair Tool is suited to professional installers requiring flexibility and precision when working in tight or obstructed installation zones. Key Features Bent blade design improves access in tight and obstructed areas Ideal for tucking carpet under toe spaces, Z-bars, and heat registers Offset shape provides knuckle clearance during use Smooth tapered blade prevents snagging or cutting carpet fibres 4″ wide blade allows broader coverage with each strike Forged from impact-resistant steel alloy for durability Nickel-plated finish improves corrosion resistance Designed for use with a mallet for controlled impact Applications Tucking carpet into stair treads and risers Installing carpet along walls and skirting boards Working under toe kicks, Z-bars, and heat registers Residential and commercial carpet installations Detail work in confined or obstructed areas Notes Use with a non-marking mallet for best results Position tool accurately before applying impact Apply controlled strikes to avoid over-tucking Use bent profile to access tight or obstructed areas Keep blade clean to prevent marking or snagging Inspect tool regularly for wear after repeated use Technical Information Technical Specifications: Blade width: 4″ (approx. 102mm) Blade type: bent / offset design Material: impact-resistant steel alloy Finish: nickel plated Net weight: approx. 1 lb (0.45kg) This tool is designed to solve access limitations commonly encountered during carpet installation.
