8 mm KECO K-Tip (3 Pack) (KECO)

KECO K-Tip Kit | Stainless Steel Tip with 3 Plastic Caps for Paintless Dent Repair

The KECO K-Tip Kit is a must-have for paintless dent repair (PDR) professionals who want to improve control and protect vehicle finishes during pushing and knocking down dents. This kit includes one high-quality stainless steel K-Tip combined with three interchangeable plastic caps designed to adapt your tool to different dent sizes and panel conditions.

Crafted with precision and durability in mind, the KECO K-Tip stainless steel tip offers outstanding strength and rigidity, providing direct and powerful pushing force when you need it most. The three plastic caps fit snugly over the stainless tip, allowing you to adjust softness, protect paint finishes, and fine-tune your technique for every job.

What’s Included

• One Stainless Steel K-Tip: The core pushing or knockdown tip, built tough for long-lasting performance

• Three Plastic Caps: Sized for different applications, these caps cover the stainless tip to provide a soft or medium surface that prevents paint damage and improves control

The Role of the Stainless Steel K-Tip

The stainless steel tip in the KECO K-Tip Kit is designed to deliver consistent, powerful contact with the dent metal. Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, this tip maintains its shape and strength through repeated use on steel, aluminum, and composite panels.

This tip offers:

• Durability: Resistant to wear, chipping, and corrosion, even in demanding shop environments

• Precision: The rigid construction lets you push metal efficiently without tip flex, giving better control over metal flow

• Versatility: Suitable for detailed dents, creases, and areas where firm contact is necessary for effective repair

Purpose and Benefits of the Plastic Caps

The three plastic caps included in the KECO K-Tip Kit provide essential customization to the pushing surface. Each cap varies slightly in size and thickness, giving you options to adapt based on the panel material, paint condition, and dent characteristics.

Using caps helps:

• Protect paint finishes: The caps cushion the tip’s contact with delicate OEM paint, minimizing scratches, marring, or clear coat damage

• Control force application: Caps soften or moderate the push force, helping prevent over-pushing and reducing risk of panel distortion

• Extend tip life: Plastic caps absorb some impact wear, preserving the integrity of the stainless steel tip underneath

• Adapt quickly: Swap caps on the job to change pushing hardness and surface area without needing to change tools entirely

How to Choose the Right Cap for Your Job

Selecting the appropriate plastic cap depends on the repair specifics:

• Larger, thicker caps: Use these on softer or painted panels where a gentle push is required to avoid surface damage

• Smaller, thinner caps: Ideal for tight dents and creases where precise, firmer pushing is needed

• No cap: For maximum force and direct metal contact, such as stubborn or deep dents where paint is less of a concern

Having three caps gives you flexibility to respond to varying dent repair challenges, increasing your efficiency and results.

Compatibility and Ease of Use

The KECO K-Tip stainless steel tip is threaded to fit standard 5/16-18 PDR tools, ensuring broad compatibility with:

• Knockdown tools

• Push rods

• Slide hammers

• Other PDR accessory tips

The plastic caps slide easily over the tip and stay secure during use, while being quick to remove or swap. This modular design helps you adapt your tools instantly without interrupting workflow.

Material and Build Quality

• Stainless Steel Tip: Crafted from high-grade stainless steel, it resists rust and damage, maintaining a clean surface for optimal pushing force. The tip is precisely machined for smooth edges and reliable performance.

• Plastic Caps: Made from durable polymers designed to withstand impact and wear while providing a gentle interface with painted surfaces. Their slightly flexible nature helps absorb impact energy and reduces marring risks.

Practical Application Tips

• Start with the largest cap for delicate paint or soft panels. Test your pushing force to avoid over-pushing or paint damage.

• Switch to smaller caps for more precise pushing on hard dents or creases.

• Remove caps entirely for maximum push force in stubborn repairs where paint integrity is less at risk.

• Keep caps and tip clean after every job. Remove glue residue and dirt to maintain smooth contact and prevent damage to both tool and panel.

• Replace caps when worn or cracked. Regular inspection helps maintain consistent repair quality.

Why Choose the KECO K-Tip Kit?

This kit combines the strength of stainless steel with the versatility of plastic caps to give PDR techs a customizable tool setup for any pushing or knocking down job. It reduces paint damage risk and improves repair precision, speeding up jobs and enhancing final results.

The modular nature of the kit lets you keep one core tool while tailoring your pushing surface instantly to the job at hand. This flexibility improves workflow, reduces downtime, and protects your investment in premium PDR tools.

Maintenance and Care

• Clean the stainless steel tip with a soft cloth and mild detergent after use.

• Wipe plastic caps gently to remove glue and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals.

• Store caps and tips in a dry, shaded area to prevent warping or corrosion.

• Inspect caps regularly and replace as needed to avoid damage to vehicle finishes.

Summary

The KECO K-Tip Kit with one stainless steel tip and three plastic caps is designed for professional PDR technicians who want precision control, paint-safe pushing, and tool versatility. Combining durable stainless steel strength with adaptable soft caps, this kit fits most standard threaded tools and helps achieve superior dent repair results while protecting automotive finishes.
