The Kupo KCP-290B Gag Grip Head (2-1/2", black) provides a secondary grip head option for more mounting applications on set. It features a rubber-covered wheel handle that improves operator comfort and helps maintain a secure hold during adjustments.

Key Features

• Second grip head for broader use: The KCP-290B offers an additional gag grip head, enabling more flexible rigging and mounting solutions across different setups.
• Rubber pad on wheel handle: A rubber pad covers the wheel handle to provide comfort and a more secure grip while tightening or loosening the unit.
• Aluminum casting body with 16mm mounting hole: The body is aluminum cast and includes a 16mm mounting hole suitable for a 5/8” (Baby) stud or a stand top, allowing straightforward integration with common support equipment.
• Non-slip aluminum braking pad: The unit uses a non-slip, non-stick aluminum braking pad for secure locking and precise control. This avoids the deterioration associated with fiber braking pads, maintaining performance over time.
• Ergonomic large T-handle: The large T-handle is ergonomically designed to deliver greater torque and easier operation when securing loads.
• Four V jaws for multiple diameters: The grip head includes four V jaws that accommodate pins or tubes of different diameters: 5/8”, 1/2”, 3/8”, and 1/4”.
• V jaws with special tooth design: The V jaws feature a special tooth design to improve grip on inserted pins or tubes.
• Steel located pin for added strength: The located pin is made of steel, which makes it sturdier than an aluminum casting pin.
• Stainless steel central bolt: A stainless steel central bolt contributes to durable construction and reliable long-term performance.
• Dedicated bearing for reinforced torque: A dedicated bearing has been added to reinforce torque transmission and support a stronger grip when clamped.
