How can I straighten out the springs? I can't use them coil uo as is.

It is an incredibly versatile tool. You can use it as a light boat anchor for sandy bottoms, a weed hook to clear grass from your propeller, a retrieval hook for fishing gear that falls overboard, or even a tool to help pull your boat alongside a dock.
The 3 arms are hinged at the bottom. When you pull the sliding collar down, the arms are freed up and pivot outwards. Then, you slide the collar back up the shaft to lock the arms firmly into the open position. It is a tough and secure design.
Yes, they are surprisingly strong for their size. The solid stainless steel construction and thick tube shaft make them sturdy enough for retrieving dropped tools, anchors, or even heavy debris, though they are not designed as a primary anchor replacement for large yachts in rough seas.
For kayaks and small rowboats, the 200mm size is usually perfect because it is lightweight and compact. For small motorboats or fishing boats under 20 feet, the 252mm medium size is a great balance of size and holding power. The 285mm size is best for general-purpose use on larger fishing vessels or as a heavy-duty weed hook.
No, rope or chain is not included. The hook comes with the stainless steel body, the sliding locking collar, and the split ring at the top. You will need to add your own rope, chain, or carabiner to the ring.
