Designed specifically for safely winding and unwinding residential garage door torsion springs, these rods enable precise 1/4 turn tension adjustments on springs with cones up to 33/64” diameter. Trusted by professionals and DIYers alike, they ensure safe, efficient spring replacement and adjustment while meeting industry standards.

## Description

Prime-Line GD 52238 Torsion Spring Winding Rods are a critical, must-have tool for replacing or adjusting torsion springs in residential garage doors. The sturdy rods are constructed of cold-rolled steel to provide the necessary strength and durability to perform torsion spring replacements and adjustments without worrying about keeping the spring tension under control. Two identical 1/2 inch x 16 inch torsion spring rods are included, and both are required for torsion spring replacement. The hard-drawn wire rods are designed specifically for increasing (winding) and decreasing (unwinding) the tension on garage door torsion springs, and they are the only tools recommended for this purpose. Failure to use these rods when replacing or adjusting torsion springs may result in personal injury and property damage. Torsion Spring Winding Rods make replacing and adjusting garage door springs fast, easy and economical. It is very important to take proper safety precautions and not improvise with another type of rod that may not fit properly or could fail under tension. These rods are sturdy, safe and the only tool you need. Note: Winding cones should be wound and unwound 1/4 turn at a time. Not for use on winding cones larger than 33/64 inch in diameter.

Review: Good price, Work well - Did the job as advertised
Review: I do believe in having the right tools for the job makes it easier, if not more convenient. These rods will work as intended and it sure beats the ill fitting pry bar or large worn out screw driver we all seem to have. I have had a set of winding rods before and for the life of me must have traded them of forget where I put them. Your springs will eventually need replacing and or adjusting. Do it right and do it safely. The cost is minimal for the convenience and safety of doing it with the right tools.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by G***D on 30 April 2020*

DISCLAIMER: If you are not handy and are not physically strong, you should hire a professional to replace torsion springs, as accidents can happen and result in serious injuries and/or death. I initially was hesitant in buying this product as the Youtube videos said 18" tension rods, but this was 16". Since I was not able to find the 18" rods at local stores (and unwilling to pay that much, nor hire a professional), I chose to chance it and bought it. I only did this because I'm quite a strong and handy person - even then, after using the rods to release the tension from the torsion rods, I felt like I had a good arm workout! If you choose to buy this, always be very careful and follow the manufacturer's instructions!
