    I would have replaced it. Taken the bent one, cut it in half, and made neato nunchucks out of it:bouncy:

    That is an idea but i was thinking cut it in half, grind the ends to a point and make them into marshmellow holders for camp fires. i hate those wimpy little sticks you cut off a tree.

    You can reinforce struts by sliding a piece of pipe over them and welding each end.
