So I using my ratcheting screwdriver yesterday, and the end that held the screw bits popped off and broke. Inside I found a spring...
Just from looking at the coils, I knew that it would be a stiff spring. Trying to depress it was nearly impossible without a housing. So I brought it back home and decided to play around with it, seeing if it would fit in an MX Switch
MX Blue spring on the left, Screwdriver spring on the right. It's a tad thicker and taller than regular MX Springs, but it fits in an MX switch.

Depressing the switch:
Regular coins/small weights wouldn't be able to depress the switch. Even a 13" macbook air couldn't depress it all the way, and that thing weighs 1350g+
What should I do with the spring? I think I'll name it Stiffy
