Due to its increased safety as compared to bar winders, the <a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/parts\/part\/SAB-SW.html\">S3 Arrow Tru-Line Winder<\/a> is our preferred choice of winder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winding torsion springs can be a risky task to undertake. That is why this type of winder is an immense benefit for someone who doesn&#8217;t want to wind their garage door springs using winding bars. The winder eliminates the need to use winding bars because it is designed to perform this job safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The S3 Winder doubles as a spring anchor bracket. The winding cones are bolted to the bracket, and a power drill winds both springs simultaneously. The winder also accommodates customers who prefer <a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/springs\/standard-torsion-springs.php#longer-life-springs\">longer life torsion springs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today we posted written instructions on our page titled &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/diy-instructions\/s3-winder-installation.php\">How to Install an S3 Winder and Torsion Springs<\/a>.&#8221; For those who prefer videos, see this video on our YouTube channel: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NmuwoH_CFuk\">How to Install an S3 Winder with Torsion Springs<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Install an S3 Winder with Torsion Springs\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NmuwoH_CFuk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can purchase the winder on our page titled &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/parts\/part\/SAB-SW.html\">Residential Drill Spring Winder for 1-3\/4&#8243; &amp; 2&#8243; ID Springs<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"251\" src=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2020\/01\/arrow-tru-line-winder-atl-300x251-1.jpg\" alt=\"Contents of the Arrow Truline S3 Winder Kit\" class=\"wp-image-2953\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Arrow Tru-Line Winder Kit<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For another even safer method of winding torsion springs, see our post about the new <a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/2022\/11\/15\/the-ddm-torsion-spring-safe-t-winder\/\">Torsion Spring Safe-T-Winder<\/a>.
