Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is raw spring stock rather than a finished spring kit, so it requires additional forming before it can be used in a project.
- The assortment is limited to the listed wire diameters (.062" to .120"), so it may not cover every spring size need.
- The 18" lengths are convenient for fabrication, but they also mean material will need to be cut and managed to suit the application.
- It is described as much heavier than No. 150 Assortment, which may be a benefit for some uses but less suitable where lighter stock is preferred.
