Extra-Stretch Extension Springs
These fabric-covered rubber springs stretch up to three times their original length—much farther than traditional extension springs, tie downs, and shock cords. All have carabiner ends with spring-loaded latch openings. Do not use to hold overhead loads.
As you stretch an extension spring, it gets harder to pull. Minimum load is the amount of force required to start to extend the spring. Maximum load is the amount of force required to fully extend the spring. Spring rate is the amount of force required for every inch of extension.

Wear-Resistant 1095 Spring Steel Sheets and Strips
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Rockwell C50 (Very Hard)
1095 spring steel has a higher carbon content than 1075 spring steel for better wear resistance. It is often fabricated into parts that will be used under continual stress, such as spring clips and washers. This material is also known as blue-tempered steel.

Easy-to-Form Wear-Resistant 1095 Spring Steel Sheets
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Rockwell B90 (Medium)
- Heat Treatable: Yes
- Max. Hardness After Heat Treatment: Not Rated
These sheets have a softened temper, which is also known as annealed, so they can be easily formed into shape and then heat treated for spring properties. 1095 spring steel has a higher carbon content than 1075 spring steel for better wear resistance. It is often fabricated into parts that will be used under continual stress, such as spring clips and washers.

1075 Spring Steel Strips
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Rockwell C45 (Hard)
1075 spring steel is easier to bend than 1095, but it has less bounce-back after heat treating. It is often used for springs and shims. This material is also known as scaleless steel.

Easy-To-Form Multipurpose 1050 Spring Steel Sheets
- Yield Strength: 38,000 psi
- Hardness: Rockwell B74
- Heat Treatable: Yes
- Maximum Hardness After Heat Treatment: Rockwell C58
- Specifications Met: ASTM A682, ASTM A684
Containing more carbon than low-carbon steel—but less than 1095 spring steel—1050 spring steel is easily formed into parts such as washers, brackets, and springs before being hardened for use. It resists stress, so it won’t snap when formed or twisted. Because it has a lower carbon content than 1095 spring steel, it’s not as wear resistant.
