What material is this spring made from?
It is made from 302/304 series stainless steel, providing standard mechanical strength along with corrosion resistance.
Why buy individual springs here instead of bulk factory lots?
Getting the exact piece count needed keeps maintenance jobs and prototypes moving without committing to industrial minimum order quantities or factory pack sizes. Shipping is $8 flat rate, free once the order passes $28, and orders leave the Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
Sometimes a complete repair hinges on finding a single spring with the right coil count and diameter. Keep the project moving without buying a five-hundred-pack you will never finish.
