So your fascination with "10 times" is just weird.
No the 10 times is from the OP, nobody normal would have to adjust a hanger that many times in a short period. That is not normal and I would happily bet money it was user error. If the hanger is damaged you would replace it but you would have replaced it if it was damaged not after 10 adjustments because of human error.
Where are you getting all of these weak hangers from? I have seen some that aren't the greatest but none that can be tweaked easily by hand as you keep mentioning. Those sure I would replace with a Wheels MFG or Pilo but those are few and far between. Most of my hanger replacement is just damage.
