How good are these are snapping back to shape? Do they easily deform when bent?

They are flexible, but like any metal, if you bend then too much, they'll crease. I use mine primarily for measuring barrel to cylinder gap on revolvers, so there's not a lot of hard core bending going on. Hope this helps.

eventually yes, you are going to replace them depending how often and rough you are with them.

I use 45lbs regularly and they have not bent. Have had as much as 75lb on with no bend. They have been great!!

They are angle iron, but I don't see these bending. They are held upright by the center section and can't twist. When angle iron bends it's usually because the piece is twisted and takes the load in the wrong direction. They are also stiff enough not to bend. I'm very happy with mine.

I haven't had any trouble with them bending, and I have every shelf full, some with heavy items. I'd say they are pretty sturdy.

They do not bend. You can place them around a bend on angles. They are very stiff and strong.

They're pretty good. I've mangled small screw heads before the tools. Of course, any small tool head can be bent, but I'd say that these are pretty strong. Looking at my tools- they're all still in perfect shape.

They're kinda in the middle. They're bendable but it's not super soft plastic. They've worked out pretty well for me and you can't beat the price.

Hi Megan, From my recollection, they are rigid and cannot be altered. Hope this helps. Bill

They are able to be bent. I would say they are a soft plastic. I bought them for my 2 year old grandson and he uses them for soccer and building a fort.

They are pretty flexible, but I wouldn't flex it all the way to a circle. It might initially work, but then start splitting. At most, I would only bend it enough to make the ends meet, which would make a tear drop shape.

No....they only bend like a watch band. They sale some led lights where u can make a circle. Alittle more expensive but worth what ur looking for.

They will bend if warmed with a heat gun. I've also used hard acrylic straws as replacement tubes. They can be bent the same way.

They are definitely able to be bent. Pretty pliable. I would still say sturdy since we use them at a school and frequently change the documents.

They are hard but not in a way that you can snap them. They will bend but will not break. I made a mistake when I got these particular ones.
