Yos Posted August 29, 2001 Share Posted August 29, 2001 About a quarter of my small stoppers and RP's have bent wires. No strands are broken, just bent all funky-like. While they sometimes allow for good placements, I would like to straighten them out. I was just going to take some pliers to them unless someone has a better option. Some have a looped cable while others are fixed to the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drederek Posted August 30, 2001 Share Posted August 30, 2001 I wouldn't use pliers. To grip the wires tight enough to straighten them would scar the wires more - further weakening them. I have straightened out a few with my fingers. But once metal is bent it is weaker and will never return to its original shape. Whether straightening them is a good idea in the first place I don't know for sure. The only times a nut placement failed for me it was either the rock or the placement. Anyone ever blow a nut?!?!?!?
