Bend a Peterson prybar

[pipefish]

I have bought several Peterson prybars and enjoy them for TOK tension. I have both thick and thin versions. I'd like to put a bend in one to make it more comfortable when holding a padlock, as opposed to picking from a vice, etc. Do I need to use an acetylene torch to heat up the prybar first, then bend it? I am not a big on metal working, but might have friends who may have the tools, or I can stop by my local hackerspace. I was curious to get opinions/tips on the best way to bend a Peterson prybar.

Thanks
