Question

Is it permitted to fix a shutter lever that has become bent on Shabbat?
Is there a difference between doing it by hand or with a tool?
And is there a difference if the way it becomes bent and the way to fix it is by hand?

Answer

Shalom uVracha 

Any bending that ruins its use, and whose straightening restores it for use, is forbidden on Shabbat.
