Rubber protector on a spiked web stretcher |
||||
 |
The spiked web stretcher, similar to the gooseneck web stretcher, has a piece of ridged rubber on the end opposite the spikes. This protects the surface of the object you are upholstering and also stops the tool from slipping when pressure is applied. | |||
Holding position of a spiked web stretcher |
||||
 |
The spiked web stretcher curves inwards in the centre on both sides. This is where the user holds the tool when stretching out webbing. The curved middle allows the user to hold the tool easily as it is small enough to fit in the palm of the hand. | |||
