Or can i just cut the bent part off? Only the top is bent

if it was mine, i would just cut the bent part off

i'd only use it in scenarios where i could still insert enough of it into the mast

I say...cut it off!! Where's the harm? Just consider it a short extension and use it accordingly, i.e. leave as much inside the mast as you would for any extension. Go go go!

take it back and see if you can get a replacement on warranty. usually they are pretty good with those things.

Chinook shouldn't bend too badly compared to some others from reviews i've seen

I bent two cheap extensions and cut them just below the bend, put the end cap back on and bobs your uncle! Might need to buy a longer one again but
