I've snapped the pins more than once.

A guy I know has one, he made his pins out of CV axles he cut down to size.  They are rather stout!!

I bend the steel cold.

Would it bend better warm?  Not melting point with cutting torch, but warmed up?

Probably better. But I don't like wasting time. I can bend 10 of them in around 1-2 minutes...

Gotcha, I do bend some steel on occasion at work, or a rarer job at home.  But not that many at a time.  A one and done kinda job.  We just warm it up, bends easy and doesn't temper like turning into molten steel.
