Sourcing Springbars...

Any recommendations on where one can procure an abundance of high quality springbars with the following requirements:

18, 19, 20, 21, 22 lengths and with two variants on each size length: one diameter for straps and one diameter for bracelets?

Like 10 in each length and in each diameter.

I want to stock up so I have them labeled & at the ready, and therefore can stop dicking around trying to order them only when I am in a pinch.

This is perfect timing. I was about to start looking where I can buy new pins. Had a rusted one seized up and destroyed it’s brother by accident like a stunad.

Please pardon me while I hijack this thread.

Anybody know what type of pin this is? It has a split end almost like a cotter pin. But it’s straight with a small collar. I’m thinking it’s probably a pressure fit going by below? I suppose it won’t break the bank to get both. More academic at this point.



This is the one I managed to break off one of the sides where it’s split.

I had a box like that… until I dropped it on the floor 😵‍💫. I didn’t have the patience at the time to sort them out, so now it’s a fun challenge any time I want to use a new pair of bars 😁

I have the exact same box, but I put a stout rubber around it so it won't accidentally pop open when being moved around. It's only opened up when it is safely on my desk where the installation will occur. So far no problems and the quality seems good.

An entire thread about spring bars? Spring bars? What's that line from Jeff Goldblum's character in Jurassic Park? "God help us, we're in the hands of engineers." 😁

Not to highJack the thread but Jeff Goldblum was a perfect cast for that role. Even though I like the movie a lot I wish they had kept more elements from the book. Especially the scene when they are on the tour and Ian Malcolm asks them to transmit the dinosaur tally to the screens in the vehicles and they see the velociraptor count go up and up. Really cool sequence and I remember being on the edge of my seat when I first read Jurassic Park many years ago

I tried to hijack this thread once. Didn’t work. 😁 Still need to figure out those damn pins…
