I make probes from car trunk springs because they are torsion springs. The old
Caddys have great ones. Just melt the end of the rod with the welder and make a ball on it so the shaft doesn't have any friction. Keep a wet rag on it so the heat doesn't travel up the rod to far to take any temper out of it.

lol I see I am not the only one that finds them best for target practice!! We had a blast throwing them out in the fields and shooting at them growing up!

Oh gosh! I gotta confess it's been a long time.
We used to do it in the bean fields, after harvest.

But there's just too many people now.
Just can't do that fun stuff anymore.
