Springs, springs, springs! *WANTED*

[Samon]

Mhmm, I need some small springs to replace the damaged onesin my handdrill chuck jaws!

The size I need is 3mm - 13mm and about 0.5mm thick. Yeah, I know..


Got some random unpictured chuck jaw springs coming in from amazon.co.uk but I have no idea what size they are as it had no info at all on them so I figured i'd ask the womblers and hoarders among the forum for some!

oddly enough springs have never looked that improtant to me before, but I will certainly begin my quest to collect them.. just incase I aquire another vintage hand drill that needs new springs..

So, anyone got some like this? or one long one I can cut down and use? Got a few little bits to swap for any so please let me know!

cheers dudes

BEHOLD, a thing of beauty.
Knew this beast would come in handy one day.

But... could I find a tape measure! I think one of these will fit if you are stuck. Will try and find my work bench under all the shavings in the morning.

depends if they fit, spring tension might be enough to self align the jaws.. hmm, got any? don't think I have any clicky pens..

I don't have mains power in several parts of my home so the hand drill is really useful
ooh! cheers bud, no worries though if you can't find it.
