Can I fix a slightly bent car key? - 1

Added (1). I have a 2001 Ford Escape - somehow my key was slightly bent, but it still works it's just a little more difficult and I have to kind of push it in a little harder and pull harder when I'm taking it out. Can I somehow bend it back in to shape myself so I don't have to spend a fortune buying a new one?

Yes, a vise works the best for that

The key is made of brass and electroplated with nickel. Brass is malleable, so you can tap it out flat with a hammer, or compress it flat in a vise. Just be sure not to crush it in the vise to a pressure that deforms it, or strike too hard with the hammer and deform it that way.
