2 Pack 18 Inch Winding Rods for Torsion Springs, 0.5inch Diameter Steel Winding Bars for Adjusting or Replacing Garage Door Tension Springs with Rubber Handle

These rods worked well and are long enough to get good leverage. Highly recommend!

REMEMBER DIYers, THERE IS MECHANICAL FORCE THAT IS DANGEROUS IF NOT CONTROLLED.DO NOT LET YOUR BODY GET IN FRONT OF THE WINDING BARS OR THE SPRINGS.Watch a professional You Tube video and learn some tricks before doing it yourself.Despite there being - some - negative reviews, overall these seemed to be liked by most.Today, I just finished using them to adjust a double spring garage door. They fit well into the winding cone with just a little looseness. I unwound both springs counting as I went and noted the number. This is so I'd know both springs were identically wound when done. At about 6 turns, the tension was strong enough that it took two arms to turn. YET, these winding bars did not noticeable bend, and the did not want to slide out of the winding cone. (One will fall out if pointing down to the floor with nothing holding it.) At 7-1/2 turns I could barely turn them, and then and only then did the winding bar bend a little. That is good steel.So I'm very happy with the product performance.

I was able to install a new tension bar myself using these winders. As a DYI, I found them easy to use and saved me a boatload of money.

I bought these to replace our torsion springs. The winding rods are very well made and longer than the other products, which provided more torque and easier to wind the springs.

These rust instantly.Wipe them down with WD-40 or CLP if you plan to keep them past first use.Fast shipping, well packaged, works perfectly.+

These worked exactly as expected and the fit into the spring holes was perfect. Recommend purchase if you are adjusting your springs yourself. I do recommend your are careful as you could get seriously injured if you aren’t!

These are essential tools if you plan to DIY the torsion springs on a garage door! They're pretty much indestructible. These, a Vise Grip, 7/16 socket wrench, and a couple of youtube videos helped me correct a bad commercial installer's work who replaced broken springs. He didn't tension the springs correctly and it resulted in burning up the motor on my garage door opener, less than 6 months after his work. Note: Wear eye protection and pay attention to a detailed video on how to! For $20, including tax and delivery, these saved me at least $200 for a service call to make minor adjustment and I'll have them for the next time a spring breaks.

Worked well. Thanks

Buen producto.

I used the winding bars almost immediately after getting them. The bars felt strong and I really liked the rubber grips on the ends. It was the first time I did a service on my dual torsion spring garage door and after watching YouTube videos the bars performed their critical job of holding torsion energy while I replaced the rollers in the lowest door brackets on both sides, removed and cleaned up rust/painted one bracket and replaced one damaged cable. I really did take my time and double checked every move I made around the torsion springs. I also made sure that there were no distractions or other people in the garage when I was doing the service. Overall I really liked the winding bars and look forward to keeping our garage doors in tip top shape for years to come.

What can you say about two shiny steel bars with grippy handles except they feel great. Never thought I would need these tools but feel safer knowing I have the right tool for servicing my garage door.

FACILITA DEMASIADO EL TRABAJO Y CON SEGURIDAD

The grips help alot. Don't buy without grip as it is a safety issue if it slips out of your hand you could get hurt or damage springs or surrounding.
