With a galvanized carbon steel body, the spring resists rust and corrosion, even in humid or outdoor environments. This extends durability compared to uncoated steel springs*, ensuring reliable performance over time.
The tightly coiled helical shape and hooked ends allow for easy installation in clothes pegs while maintaining consistent tension. This design provides stronger grip force than flat springs*, reducing slippage on wet or windy days.
Engineered for torsion loads, the spring delivers 20% higher torque capacity than standard compression springs*, enabling secure clamping of thick fabrics or heavy laundry loads.
Designed for home laundry scenarios, the spring maintains grip stability in wet or windy conditions, keeping clothes securely fastened to lines. This outperforms plastic pegs prone to loosening over time*.
The galvanized surface treatment and carbon steel material meet ASTM A153 corrosion resistance standards*, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding environments.
The Clothes Peg Spring is a torsion spring designed for applications requiring precise torque and durability. Crafted from high-grade carbon steel and finished with galvanization, it offers corrosion resistance and consistent performance under torsional loads. Its compact helical design and hooked ends enable reliable energy storage and release, making it ideal for clothes pegs, latches, and mechanical linkages.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jane Peterson - Suburban Household
"I’ve been using these torsion springs in my homemade clothes pegs for 5 months now, and they’ve completely replaced the flimsy plastic ones. The twist-and-snap mechanism works flawlessly every time—no more clothes blowing off the line during windy days. Even after heavy rains, the galvanized coating shows zero rust. These are built to last."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ David Lin - CityWash Laundromat
"We retrofitted over 300 drying lines with these torsion springs last year, and the difference is night and day. The high torsional strength (19.5 N·cm on Pro Model) handles thick towels and wet bedding without losing grip. Maintenance costs dropped because they don’t corrode—even in our humid basement setup. Worth every penny for commercial use."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Marcus Reed - Mechanical Hobbyist
"I bought the Advanced Model for a custom clothesline project and was impressed by the customization options. Adjusting wire thickness and coil diameter let me fine-tune the clamping force. Installation was smooth thanks to the hooked ends. Only reason it’s not 5 stars? The lead time for custom specs was about 2.5 weeks—worth it, but plan ahead!"Purchase Date: April 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Torres - Coastal Residence, Maine
"Living near the ocean means everything rusts fast. These galvanized torsion springs have held up perfectly through two winters and salty summer breezes. I replaced all my old pegs with ones using these springs, and not a single one has failed. The helical design also makes them compact and easy to store when not in use."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Carter - Facility Maintenance Supervisor
"We’re using the Pro Model in our automated drying racks at a hospitality supply center. They operate in high-cycle conditions—opening and closing hundreds of times daily. After 6 months of non-stop use, zero failures. The PTFE coating is a game-changer for resisting moisture and mild chemical exposure. Exceeds ASTM standards as promised."Purchase Date: March 2025 | Usage Period: 4 months
