Malleability and ductility -

Metals are malleable (can be flattened into thin sheets by hammering) and ductile (can be drawn into wires).

Since the metallic bond is non-directional, metals can be twisted, drawn into wires. This is because the kernels can slip over each other when a deforming / force is applied.
