Anyone break one of these like this. I was on my last club, adjusting lie/lofts, and this happened.
From what I read these heads were supposed to be difficult to bend but mine seem to bend without a problem.
Is it safe to assume they will replace under warranty?

The DBM irons are bendable and we have not had an issue with them breaking. They are true forged from from 1035 carbon steel and the DBM process does not reduce the bendability when produced by this process and this material. Still, sometime irons can break.
We will take care of it. Contact customer service and they will be able to help.
I would make note of statechamp said about the process. Taping the head can help with some of the marring. Most of what is shown should come off, but you can prevent the tool marks by protecting the head, if that matters to you. Also, be sure you are using a proper bending bar. To many times people will use a short hosel bending bar to bend regular or longer hosels. They shouldn’t. Need to use a longer knuckle bar (1″, 1 1/8″ or 1 1/4″ ) on standard length hosels.

This is the reply I got 10 days after contacting customer service.
Dear GolfWorks Customer,
Thank you for your email. We do not replace heads that are bent by the customer. How much did you say you were trying to bend the club head to.

The GW was 52* when it was supposed to be 50* so it broke bending to 50*, is it obvious that the break is while doing a loft tweak and not a lie? I only say this because I can understand questioning a lie adjustment.
The finish does make these a little tricky to bend. I’m going to assume Golfworks will take care of you.
Thoughts I have;
Did you have the bending bar up as high as you could get it?
When bending a head I’ll sort of bounce the pressure into the head to get movement. Never steady hard constant pressure.
Business cards stuck to the face will keep your bending machine from marring up the finish on the face if your head. Sometimes I’ll even put the bubble wrap bags back on them while in the bending machine.
