The shank bending pliars are WAY easier then regluing them. I did a brass rail conversion to standard parts a couple of years ago on an old Packard. I was very surprised when I held the brass rail up to the strike line on the strings. some of the tabs didn't come close to lining up squarely to the unisons. Again, the solution is to taper the shanks at the bottom so you can have some leeway to line them up to the strings. The shank bending pliers accomplish the same thing in a somewhat cruder fashion, but it works.
