    Overload-Prevention Extension Springs

    Stop overstretching before it starts—drawbars limit how far these springs extend to prevent breaking. They’re best for tensioning tasks, such as pulling and keeping fences and gates closed.
    Loop End—The most secure attachment method. With fully closed loops, there's no risk of slipping off.
    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.
    Minimum Load—The amount of force required to start extending the spring.
    Maximum Load—The amount of force required to fully extend the spring.
