Being spring steel, I'd heat'em with a torch. I watched a beaver pull out of a 330 today that I had set 10 seconds earlier. Def. needed stronger springs.

You should be able to muscle it closed the reason they twist the eye is the round loop end is hard to keep it's shape if opened the long way, probably need to over twist it and it should come back a bit then !
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Heating is bad as is welding the eye shut. Some tried that and the eye broke off after welding the eye shut.
Some individuals use statistics as a drunk man uses lamp-posts — for support rather than for illumination.

A vice and a big pair of channel lock pliers, you can twist them closed fairly easily. ^^..the vise is your friend!.....first thing taught in Gunsmith and Blacksmith classes!
