I like C.S. Osbourne products. This is a first order for me, it is a bit heavy and bulky. But I think it will do the trick when you can't get the large fabric stretcher in tight areas. I haven't used it much yet. Bought for leather and hair on hide stretching.

This tool worked very well for stretching elastabelt webbing to repair a dining room chair seat.

I used a pair of US Art Supply style pliers for about 20 years. It was a good run, but the handle finally snapped. Ordered the Osborne 249 as a replacement. Wow! These should last a lifetime and then some. Extremely heavy duty and comfortable to use. Well worth the extra money and made in USA. Minor downside is what looks like a sand-casting finish is still quite evident, but I'll trade pretty for strength.

Not what I expected. You must use 2 hands to open the pliers, then hold it tight to pull your fabric. It would work much better if these was a spring open or close. Although once you grab the fabric it does give a nice even pull, I did not use it since it was so much trouble to drop everything, open it up, attach it, etc. Way more trouble than it's worth.

Small enough to get into tight spaces but has the leverage to do a great job.

Lifesaver! I am learning upholstery, but by day, I’m usually at a computer so my hands aren’t in the best shape. This is a great tool to ensure that my fabric is pulled taut without pain. It didn’t damage my fabric at all. It’s a substantial, heavy tool that was worth the money for me.

It works. I can now stretch all the double primed canvas my heart desires.
