Our Spring Winding Tools
At DOCO, we have two high-quality, robust spring winding tools in our assortment: the Surewinder and the Brutewinder. The Surewinder is the original spring winding tool, specifically designed to safely and efficiently handle residential spring winding tasks. For industrial applications, the Brutewinder is our most powerful spring winding tool, built to tackle the biggest and most demanding industrial spring winding needs.
Designed for Efficiency and Safety
Our spring winding tools are designed to improve safety and efficiency in your work. The torque-stabilizing technology does the heavy lifting, providing a more ergonomic experience compared to traditional winding bars.
Unlike bulky alternatives, our tools are remarkably lightweight without compromising strength, making them easier to handle and reducing strain during use.
Improve efficiency with a safer, more controlled approach to winding and unwinding springs. Reduce fatigue, minimize risks, and complete jobs with greater ease and confidence.
Crafted from durable stainless steel and high-temper bronze, these tools offer strong wear resistance and reliability. Designed with precision engineering and used in the field for over a decade, they are built to withstand demanding tasks.
Brutewinder
How does it work?
Our spring winding tools use a worm gear system powered by a low-RPM, high-torque drill to wind springs in under three minutes with minimal effort. Its design prevents the spring from unwinding on its own, ensuring a safe and controlled operation. This proven safety mechanism is commonly used in winches and other high-safety applications.
Have a look at the instruction video for an in-depth explanation.

The Brutewinder in Detail
-
Worm Wheel
This high-temper bronze component connects to the worm gear, enabling the rotation of the spring plug with precision and durability.
-
Worm Gear
Responsible for managing the torque force of the winding tool, this essential mechanism requires regular greasing to ensure smooth and optimal performance.
-
Thumb Latch
Acts as the locking mechanism for securing the detachable drive pin during the use of the winding tool. It allows for quick mounting and demounting onto the spring plug in a single motion.
-
Shaft Passage
The area where the shaft passes through the tool. The Surewinder accommodates 25.4 mm (1”) shafts, while the Brutewinder can also handle 31.75 mm (1.25”) shafts.
-
Shaft Stabilizer
Designed to securely stabilize the tool onto the shaft during operation, the stabilizer accommodates 31.75 mm (1.25”) shafts by default. With the removable insert in place, it can securely handle 25.4 mm (1”) shafts.
-
Winding Screw
These 14 mm (3/8”) hexagon screws are designed for attaching your drill to wind or unwind the spring.
-
Ergonomic Handle
A lightweight yet sturdy handle designed for ergonomic use. The integrated opening allows for easy attachment of a rope or carabiner for added convenience.
-
Drive Pin
The tool consists of two drive pins, each attached to a flange. One flange is permanently fixed to the winding tool, while the other must be clamped on during operation.
Enhanced Safety Features
Our spring winding tools securely engage with two winding cone holes during operation, fully supporting spring forces through the handle against the door. This design prevents the accidental release of spring energy, ensuring the wrench cannot detach while under spring torque load.
By eliminating the risks associated with traditional winding bars, such as hand injuries, projectile accidents, ladder falls, and shoulder strain, our tools help reduce workplace injuries and related costs. Avoiding just two days of lost work from a strain or injury can cover the cost of the wrench itself.
Key Safety Benefits
- Worm gear technology prevents the spring from back-driving the tool
- Removes dangers inherent in winding bars
- Minimize fatigue and resulting safety incidents
- Reduces rotator cuff injury
