    It’s not from using a cheater, they’re bent to the side a cheater doesn’t do that. I’ve got a couple bent handles and never used a cheater.

    I’ve got one with a bent handle. It’s because I forgot it was laying on the trailer and ran over it with a motor grader. I actually kinda like it with the bent handle. It comes in handy sometimes.

    For going around corners,right???
    Lol

    Ran into a guy that had a bunch of bent,twisted binder handles.
    We had some time before we loaded.
    Asked him if he wanted to use my press to straighten them.
    Huh??????
    Used the hydraulic neck,just like new.

    I have bent handle holding down my 4x4's on the front of trailer. Receiver bent it taking something off, can't remember what it was. I love that binder cause I always know which way is tightening and wich is loosening.

    It's one way or the other. I have to look at the threads for a couple seconds before I get the gist of it. Depending on how you throw it on it could be either direction.

    I look at the threads, they “point” in so you flip the dog the opposite and it’ll tighten.
