• Complete installation kit: The package includes a single spring plus a pair of 17.2 non-slip winding bars, gloves and installation instructions so users can start work immediately.
• Durable construction: Heat-treated spring steel coils with aluminum cones and electrophoretic black coating deliver corrosion resistance and strong fatigue life for long-term use.
