yeah, well I use a screw driver to bend em. then like put it flat then use your thumb, idk thats probably not explaining it very well. aaand if you can't bend them with pliers the screwdriver thing probably won't help you.
Yeah guys i don't think you realise how hard it is to bend these studs lol, i used a screwdriver, a hammer and a big chunk of metal, and it is still hard!
or you'll just heat it up to the point where you can burn yourself and still unbent, due to the excessive heat.
gloves would make it harder to handle the studs.
I bought studs from studsandspikes.com, I live in Melbourne. I saved quite a bit of money buying them from there. Shops that sell studs/spikes in Melbourne are fucking expensive.
