    Answer This Question

    Hi Home Depot Customer, Yes, the upper part of this product, which is the flexible shaft, is designed to bend. It can bend to 90 degrees near the magnet end and is capable of returning to its straight form after bending. This flexible design allows it to reach into tight, angled spaces, and its length and angle are adjustable.

        Answer This Question

                    this thing saved me from having to remove my 36x80 storm door!
                    I dropped my door handle internal mechanism [about 12 oz] in to my storm door. the only way to get it out was to remove door. however, the 36" and magnet worked. it was a narrow frame opening so it kept rubbing on the side and dropping off. took some patience but we got the mechanism out!
