Lots of possible bends and folds in this one. Nonetheless it remains my least-favorite part of model building. Metal origami as far as me and my squinty eyes are concerned.

Being made of aluminum and having such long teeth it looks to me as if the teeth maybe prone to bending themselves and after a short while not be able to clamp the PE securely. That has been my experience with another brand.

if you only bend PE parts, then nothing happens, because that's what it's built for, and only for that. The teeth have to be long because there are different parts of the PE.
