OK - I watched the video - but I can't figure out what is the problem that this tool cures. The video seems to assume you'll know when the tool is needed.

If someone will explain, then perhaps I can figure out what it does to cure the problem.

IF its the tool I am thinking of, the hinge leaves are NOT flat together when closed... this tools rebends the flats, right by the pin, so the door will close completly

... basically, as an alternative to having to dismount and remount sagging hinges. Arguably a bit of a kluge, but hey, it works fast and cheaply.

Note that there are now competing tools -- the original hinge doctor used the door itself as a lever, but someone's now offering a version with a lever handle so you can also manipulate the hinge itself. I'm not sure whether that's really an improvement -- it's certainly less portable, but it's an interesting alternative.
