Small compression springs are easy to lose and frustrating to match when one breaks. A stainless steel assortment keeps a range of replacement springs in one box, which is exactly why these two kits are worth comparing. One is built around broad spring variety; the other is built around compact, small-spring repairs. Both are New, stainless steel compression spring kits aimed at DIY repair and workshop use, but they lead with different strengths.
Quick verdict
The broader assortment is the stronger pick for a mixed-use workshop because it offers more spring dimensions in a single box. If your repair work centers on pens, crafts, and tiny components, the compact-spring kit is the more focused choice.

Where each kit wins
- 390pc Compression Spring Assortment Kit: This is the broader choice. It has a larger piece count and more size variety, and the description specifically calls out premium 304 stainless steel. If you want one kit that covers more spring dimensions before a second purchase, this is the stronger fit.
- 380PCS Stainless Steel Compression Springs Assortment Kit - Small & Tiny Springs: This one is aimed at compact repairs. The description mentions pen spring replacements, craft projects, and helical springs for heavy-duty tools, plus rust-proof durability in humid garages, gardens, or workshops. If your repairs are on the small side, this kit's focus is more direct.
390pc Compression Spring Assortment Kit 28 Sizes Stainless Steel Small Springs
Start here when you want variety without a second order. The kit holds 390 pieces across 28 sizes, so you have more spring dimensions to choose from, and it is listed at USD 9.16. The description frames it as an all-around workshop fix-it essential and calls out 304 stainless steel as the material. It is described as New with a round head style. The trade-off is that the description leans toward general repair rather than pen or craft-specific projects. If your replacement needs are ultra-small and specialized, the other kit has that explicit focus. For a go-to drawer assortment, this one offers the broadest coverage and a lower listed price than the 380-piece set.
380PCS Stainless Steel Compression Springs Assortment Kit - Small & Tiny Springs
This set is the more targeted option if your work revolves around compact springs. The product description highlights pen spring replacements, crafts, and helical springs for heavy-duty tools, and it specifically calls out rust-proof durability in humid garages, gardens, or workshops. The compact-spring positioning is the main reason to choose it. On the other hand, the listed price is higher than the 390-piece kit, and the piece count is a little lower. The listing includes package dimensions of 7.4 x 5 x 0.65 inches and a weight of 6.38 ounces, which gives you a sense of the box size. The description focuses on the small end of the spring spectrum rather than on overall size-count breadth.
Final choice by use case
- For general repairs and variety: Choose the broader assortment. It provides more spring dimensions to work with, making it the most natural first kit for a mixed-use drawer.
- For pen repairs, crafts, and tiny jobs: Choose the compact-spring kit. Its description is built around pen replacements, crafts, and rust-proof durability, so it aligns better when your projects are on the small side.
