Wasn't a real good question, was it? What I meant was is this for field 
work, or shop hammer installation? I rarely come across anything out there 
in the world that can't be spaced without bending the shank - then there's 
the having to go find a tool in the truck, etc. For twisting shanks and 
heating the screw to pull shank stubs, I carry a long necked charcoal 
lighter. FLAME! Replacing butts and shanks in the shop, I've not had the 
need to bend shanks. I have one of the non-electric benders in the drawer 
that hasn't seen a shank in a very long time. So I was curious how you guys 
use them.
