Well, when I first saw them,, I was scratching my head,,, but I love a challenge,, I had to unbend it some, and being stainless, it didn't want to co-operate,, I swore a few times,, but managed to get them in..
I wouldn't do stainless again, by choice.. but having said that; that's prob why I didn't get anywhere near a kink,, softer may have kinked...
