Description Product Overview The Crain 1505-K Gripper Inserts are replacement components designed for restoring the gripping performance of Crain knee kickers and related tools. These inserts are installed within the gripper head and work alongside the pins and nap grips to securely engage the carpet during stretching. Over time, gripper inserts wear down with repeated use, reducing the tool’s ability to hold and move carpet effectively. Replacing them ensures consistent performance, improved control, and reduced slippage during installation. The Crain 1505-K Gripper Inserts are compatible with a range of Crain knee kickers and stretchers, making them a standard maintenance item for professional installers.
