Today I discovered that a "quick ratcheting bar
clamp" (with soft jaws, mine is from Wolfcraft)
can be used to straighten fenders that are
flattened to some extent and show bulges on
each side. The QRBC can also be used in the
same way to straighten chainguards. It is
actually much, much better than ball hammers,
pliers, muscling with your hands, etc., to
achieve the same purpose. Especially with
fenders it is almost like magic as the damaged
part seems to "get along" with the method and
naturally follow its lead back to the original
position...
