Makeshift means of fixing my under-bent Elite 2 Paddle

I gotta begin off by saying it’s completely unreal that an enormous company like Microsoft can’t determine methods to correctly bend steel on a 180$ product when a school pupil with a socket wrench and a pair of lighters can do it in his dorm. The paddle got here like this out of the field. I believe it’s fairly clear however I’m gonna elaborate in any case. You noticed how I rigged the paddle within the socket wrench which was inside my drawer being held regular by my knee. however I had to make use of 2 lighters on the similar time to warmth it up till my fingers couldn’t bodily take the warmth anymore. I did this as a result of I noticed one other one who tried to bend it and ended up snapping it. I labored with what I had nevertheless it’s mounted and the paddle now works. I additionally wiped off all the carbon and it seems just about good as new. I might’ve killed for a vice, a blowtorch and a few pliers although.
