Covy Shaft Straightner circa 1969. I have the EZ. Any collector's of these out there? Looks like it still works just fine for aluminum shafting. Anybody still useing these??  (http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll292/toxo-collector/Articles093.jpg) (http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll292/toxo-collector/Articles090.jpg)  (http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll292/toxo-collector/Articles091.jpg) (http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll292/toxo-collector/Articles092.jpg)

No, I've never seen one...but 25 bucks seems expensive for the 60's.

Here's a cheapie that works great for straightening aluminum...

I have one of those and they work great! Not sure if they still make them but FS Discount Archery used to sell them.

Blackhawk how well does that work? I have been looking for one for a long time.

A friend had one and after seeing him use it, I began searching.  I think they are easy to use and will allow you to salvage aluminum arrows that were destined for the garbage.
