You could always make one, here's a humorous, entertaining but very useful video on the subject, https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_conti...Aawhg6JtyY

I have made lots of springs in the past...but This Old Tony's "wire brake" idea is a trick I will remember from this video...thanks for the link!

These are the "other half" of what I have....seems to be one or two at about every garage sale....when they have "TOOLS!"  for sale...
   
Good thing they usually put these on a table...otherwise, I'd be tripping over the dang things

Half of the eggbeaters, maybe?
   
Push drills, screwdrivers, braces, and more eggbeaters....and a few other tools.....

Before cordless drills I used my Yankee  for screwing hinges into the door and jamb. I removed the spring when I was warned that the spring action could be dangerous when installing mirrors and such.  I haven't seen the spring in 50+ years.
