Wayne Dalton TorqueMaster spring is a long 16 ft. spring contained inside a tube with a gearbox on either side of the tube. This allows you to wind the spring with a simple socket. These springs are very sensitive and over winding them will make them break very prematurely.

These types of springs do not have as many cycles as standard torsion springs and do not have that much strength.

If you insist on replacing your torquemaster spring with a new torquemaster spring than be ready to open up the wallet a bit more than usual. They cost considerably more than normal torsion spring assemblies. It is just as easy to convert to a normal torsion spring assembly, as well as will cost less.

Every time I encounter one of these springs in the past I just give the homeowner the difference in price. I have never had a customer insist on a Torquemaster replacement
