FAQs

What types of springs are included in this set?

The set includes both tension springs (which extend under load) and compression springs (which compress under load).

What is the material of the springs?

The springs are made from durable, high-quality steel.

What is the size range of the springs?

The springs in this set range in diameter from 4 mm to 9.5 mm.

How many springs of each type are included?

The set contains 124 tension springs and 74 compression springs.

Is this set suitable for heavy-duty industrial applications?

This set is designed for general household, workshop, automotive, and service industry use. For very heavy-duty or critical industrial applications, specialized springs with specific load ratings may be required.

Does the storage box have dividers?

The product description does not specify if the storage box has internal dividers, but it serves to keep the assortment organized.

Can I buy individual springs from this set?

This is a pre-packaged assortment, and individual springs from the set are not available for separate purchase.

Troubleshooting

Spring breaks during installation or use.

Ensure the correct spring type (tension vs. compression) and size are being used for the application. Do not over-extend tension springs beyond their intended range or compress compression springs beyond their limits.

Springs show signs of rust.

This can occur in humid environments. Ensure springs are stored in a dry location. Light surface rust can sometimes be carefully removed with a wire brush, but prolonged exposure may compromise the spring's integrity.

Difficulty finding the exact size needed.

While the set offers a wide variety, it may not cover every single specific dimension. Measure the space or original spring carefully and select the closest matching size from the assortment. Consider if a slightly larger or smaller diameter/length can be adapted.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a broad selection of common spring sizes.
  • Durable steel construction ensures longevity.
  • Includes both tension and compression springs for versatility.
  • Comes with a convenient storage solution.
  • Cost-effective for general repair and DIY needs.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This product requires no setup; the springs are ready for use upon removal from the storage box. Simply identify the appropriate spring for your application.

Compatibility: The springs are designed for mechanical applications where tension or compression is required. Compatibility depends on matching the spring's dimensions (length, diameter, coil count) and material strength to the specific requirements of the item being repaired or built. Standard steel construction makes them compatible with most common materials and environments, provided moisture is managed.

Care: To ensure longevity and prevent rust, store the springs in their provided box in a dry environment. Avoid exposure to water, excessive humidity, or corrosive substances. If springs become dirty, wipe them clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
