Overview

This spring kit is designed for use in restricted spaces where a controlled-tension coil spring needs to operate inside a hole without binding under compression. It includes 12 springs in 6 sizes, sized to function freely in holes from 3/32" to 1/4", making it useful for compact repair or custom fitting work. The 12" length provides material to work with, while the light-duty configuration suits applications that call for a lighter spring load. Made with high tensile spring wire, it offers a practical option when space is limited and smooth spring action matters.

Pros

  • Controlled-tension wound for smooth operation without binding under compression.
  • Made to fit inside restricted areas.
  • Includes 12 coil springs in six sizes.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Light-duty kit, so it is intended for lighter applications rather than heavier spring loads.
  • The 6 sizes are designed for holes from 3/32 in. to 1/4 in., so it is not a universal fit outside that range.
  • The kit is 12 in. long overall, which may require cutting or selecting the appropriate spring length for a given job.
  • This is a spring kit rather than a finished assembly, so it is best suited to users who need to match or adapt spring size to a specific in-hole application.
