Cushion-Grip Spring Tools

Klein Tools’ Cushion-Grip spring tools are used for installing and removing springs for electrical and automotive applications. They have two shank sizes: 4-inch (Cat. No. ST4) and 6-inch (Cat. No. ST6). The tools are helpful for reaching into tight spaces to hook, attach, or release springs. The spring tool allows the user to grab the spring with the unique C-shaped end, which holds the spring more securely than other tools and without damaging the spring.
