DonTx Posted February 28, 2005 Author Report Posted February 28, 2005 Okay, thank Mike, now explain what it does because I thought they were attached to springs.
Norm Posted February 28, 2005 Report Posted February 28, 2005 We call them "window balance mechanisms". NORM SAGE

Rich Rushing Posted March 10, 2005 Report Posted March 10, 2005 Paul, I must be a regional thing as we are not that far apart. I have always known them as a sash balance. It does go to reason that since it is spiral in shape that it would be a 'spiral sash balance'. Richard

Maybe a southern thing?
Les Posted March 10, 2005 Report Posted March 10, 2005 My Dad called them sash pig tails. I just call them sash balances. He was smarter than me. The spiral screw driver is still popular, but known around here as a Yankee Push Drill. Stanley makes them. I got them up to 24".
