What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these springs for durability, reliability, and seamless performance across diverse applications. Most report successful replacements with phrases like "worked perfectly" and "works like a charm," particularly for gates, recliners, screen doors, and outdoor equipment. Many appreciate the easy installation and correct sizing, with looped ends eliminating extra hardware needs. Reviewers commend the sturdy, well-made construction and chrome-like finish resisting weathering. The versatility impresses customers who use them for attic doors, dishwashers, and specialized equipment. A few note tension occasionally runs slightly weak for heavy gates or requires manual bending, but these isolated concerns are vastly outweighed by strong satisfaction and repeat purchases.

Recliner Fixer Upper

I don't claim to be the smartest cookie in the jar, but I needed to figure out how to put/connect a spring back together that was broken on my rocker recliner chair. I threaded one hook side of the Extension Spring to the short end of the broken coil/spring, then pulled the Extension Spring over to the larger broken piece of coil/spring and threaded the other end. Voila! Put together and now am able to resume use of the rocker recliner. Thank you.

Uniform springiness, smooth finish

Would Recommend

I am using this to help me heat bend plastic tubing, and not as a spring. The metal finish is smooth, and doesn't scratch the tubing. It bends uniformly without kinking, and is uniformly springy. Anchor loops on the ends are sturdy and well-formed.

What are the specs?

Would Not Recommend

The description says "Please consider the rate per inch and max load-in when choosing a spring." However, nowhere in the description or specs or anywhere on the page does it show the rate per inch or max load. Jeez
