Magazine repair or hoax?

I notice that there is no claim that this is an original German tool. I would expect an imperial tool to have some markings. Also, I think you would need to remove the follower to do a workmanlike job. I do when I am straigtening mags with the modern tool I have.
GT on this forum, makes a magazine strightening tool set that from the looks would be superior to this one. That is a guess, but I do know GT's tool set works very well. I have a set of pictures I can send to you if you are interested. They are fairly large for posting here. |

Thanks - I'm not currently in need of having anything straightened. Is that a "normal wear and tear" maintenance item? I'm a recent convert from the revolver world - very little experience with magazines. How would a mag get bent - inserting too energeticly?
