I just came across this c24fc breaker bar and as you can see in the pictures it is bent. I need some opinions on the safety issues of using it. Does a bend like this truly weaken the tool to the point of being dangerous?

Also, notice where the bend is in relation to the head. I could understand a left/right bend in the direction used to turn a bolt, but this one is going up and down in relation to the head. Any opinions? Thanks
Well it looks like I don't know how to attach images to my post. Hopefully someone can still give me some advice though.
