Default PSA Door Spring Tool

For anyone who needs to replace their hinge pins and doesn't have a door spring tool, Harbor Freight sells them for $5.
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=95344

In my searches, I found links to Eastwood for $20 (http://www.eastwoodco.com/shopping/p...ck+door+spring) and people saying they found them on ebay for $10, so I thought I'd post this for anyone else to find if they need this tool and don't want to pay a lot for a tool they'll only use a couple times.

GAH!

I've had springless doors for a few weeks now because I couldn't find the tool anywhere. I even checked harborfreight...

I'll have to go there tomorrow and check again

I went ahead and ordered the tool and got it in today. It was about $5 shipping and took about 5 business days. I haven't gone out to put the springs in but I tightened one of them down just to see how well it works. This tool is definitely worth it. Worth every penny and how easily and quickly it works.
