You could always make one, here's a humorous, entertaining but very useful video on the subject, https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=12&v=jAawhg6JtyY

I have made lots of springs in the past...but This Old Tony's "wire brake" idea is a trick I will remember from this video...thanks for the link!

These are the "other half" of what I have....seems to be one or two at about every garage sale....when they have "TOOLS!" for sale...

Good thing they usually put these on a table...otherwise, I'd be tripping over the dang things

Then there are the push drills...and the eggbeater drills...and the braces...
RE: Yankee 131a screwdriver - bandit571 - 09-11-2021
I might just have a few of each.....

Half of the eggbeaters, maybe?

Push drills, screwdrivers, braces, and more eggbeaters....and a few other tools.....

I'll check to see if I have a donor (don't think so), but its a donor you need as these springs were pretty specific to the tool.
Before cordless drills I used my Yankee for screwing hinges into the door and jamb. I removed the spring when I was warned that the spring action could be dangerous when installing mirrors and such. I haven't seen the spring in 50+ years.
