Does toeing in brake shoes require forcibly bending metal?
I have a bad feeling that if I try it I'll break something.
All I've got for such a job is a 10-inch crescent wrench.
Is there a better tool? Is there a way to toe in brake shoes without having to bend something permanently?

Have you tried cleaning the rims? Have you tried roughing up the pads with steel wool or a fingernail file? Sometimes the cause is dirt or glazed brake pads and not the toeing-in.
