Guys, can you think of a repurpose for old worn out 110 springs of body grippers?
I just changed out the springs on 2 dozen 110s . Didn’t know if there might be a use for the old ones before I threw it in the scrap metal pile.

I hate wasting anything

Heat them up and quench them, maybe that will strengthen them. Randall Knife website has a procedure they use.

Weld the tips together in a circle then hoop a tanned muskrat hide or some other critter in the center. Hang in on a wall and call it done.
