If you want to bend it back you don't want to lose the temper of the steel. Heat it up to a hot cherry red and bend it back with some pliers. If you have a return policy I would send them back.

DO NOT PUT HEAT ANYWHERE NEAR IT,

Doing what bumit suggested will scrap your wrench,

Bend it back with your fingers, its a worthless item cost wise, just make some more if you want/need them from wiper blade inserts,

shrub says its worthless, did you buy it straight from SO? if so, they might send you a new one (plus something, but thats just my idea) for the trouble.

Yup sorry, this is only for home-made tension wrenches made from a hacksaw blade.
