Bent Beach Scoop

[Monkatom]

I have purchased two CKG Beach scoops in the last year and both have bent while detecting. I detect in San Diego so not really rocky beaches but somehow have bent them. Does anyone know if they can be repaired or have suggestions on how to repair? Thanks

I will assume it is stainless, and is curved. You will nee a hammer that has a flat head (bodyman's hammer) a large pipe or a bodyman's dolly. Your hammer and dolly can be found at either harbor freight, or from a tool truck, I prefer Snap on. The pipe can be found at a scrap yard. put either the pipe or dolly under the bend part and us the hammer to reshape it.
I was a collision tech for 40 years, without seeing the damage it is rather hard to explain how to repair. just watch you tube on how to reshape damaged panels.

I'm sure Extreme has it's share of failures too.....even the titanium ones:
