Spring-Tension Tool Balancer

A Spring-Tension Tool Balancer is an apparatus that supports the weight of frequently used tools to alleviate the stress caused by having to hold them for long periods of time. This device is designed to make tools become almost weightless in the user’s hands and be moved about with very little effort. This particular type balancer features manual spring tension that’s designed to be easily adjusted to match each tool’s weight and a long cable that allows its use over a large work area. Various models are available supporting weights from 1 to 10 pounds.
