Yah those are vice grips, meant to be very tough! It's not very likely that one of these, as Brandon said, would be that small. Let alone, be broken apart in some way, as they are meant for heavy usage!
Romans lever actually reminds me of a tie clip! Honestly could be haha, although i've never seen one with a curve like the V2 lever...most i've seen are straight.Tie clip?
can you doodle up or describe how you thought the lever looked before/after bending?
Oh dear. is that the bts Obi Wan should shot?View attachment 1429522
This is an older picture before I softened the curves a bit but: red lines overlayed on my stamped lever- is (approximately) the side profile it had before being bent. ([in my stupidity...] I didn’t grab a pic beforehand)

I understand the technical side of why it wouldn't close , I'm just puzzled that Alec didn't find it uncomfortable enough to make them fix it somehow.
I got some clips like these from ebay and were really close, except that I could not find any that's not aluminum.My latest theory :

Not sure how these are called, but are some sort of vintage hair clips. Plenty of variations - so maybe some are a better match than these
Yes, these are apparently for curling, in the listing they were mentioned as "hair curlers".Nice find v312! That does look pretty close indeed! I'm curious when you installed it. Aluminium doesn't even sound that weird: if it got bend so easily while in use as a stunt, it wouldn't surprise me if the metal was rather soft.
What type of clips (or pliers) are these? How are these called?
Found it! curling tongs or hair crimper.
