What this tool is for

Use the PullMate to remove existing Fletcher framer’s points from a wood frame during refitting. The raised grip gives you room above the frame stack while you reach the point.

Choose it if the existing point needs to come out, for example before replacing damaged backing. For a new point, choose the matching insertion tool or driver after checking the frame recess.

Questions about this tool

Is this the Fletcher PushMate?

The 09-517 is the removal tool. The PushMate 09-515 seats documented push points.

What if I only need to lift a flexible point?

Check whether the existing point is designed to bend back for access. Remove a point only when the refit requires it.

Where should I start on an unfamiliar frame?

Identify the fastener and check how the backing will be supported before removing it.
