Agreed, they twist easily with heat applied for "burning shanks" but in the absence of heat, they do not twist. Which is, in my opinion, EXACTLY what we need in this business. If (God forbid) one hangs a hammer just slightly crooked, it sure is nice to be able to heat a shank and twist it into position, as we do wooden shanks. Score one for pultrusion, I say. William R.
