Loop End—The most secure attachment method. With fully closed loops, there's no risk of slipping off.

Double-Loop End—Ends are strengthened by an extra loop, so these springs are less likely to break if overstretched.

Hook End—Hook into closed holes, such as hanger bolt eyes. These springs work best when kept under tension, as they're more likely to slip off than loop-end springs when tension is released. Also known as machine hook ends.

Elongated-Hook End—With deeper hooks than standard hook end springs, these are less likely to slip off. However, they’re more prone to breaking if overstretched.

Straight-Wire End—Bend the long, straight ends into custom loops and hooks.

Spring Steel—Strong and resilient, but best suited for dry environments since moisture will cause these springs to rust.

Corrosion-Resistant 302 Stainless Steel—Won’t corrode from exposure to moisture and mild chemicals, including ammonia often found in cleaning solutions. These springs are easier to extend than steel, but can’t handle as high a load.

Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Our most corrosion-resistant stainless steel springs won't degrade when exposed to salt water and harsh chemicals. They're easier to extend than steel, but can’t handle as high a load.

Minimum Load—The amount of force required to start extending the spring.

Maximum Load—The amount of force required to fully extend the spring.
