The one end goes in the latch, the other on the striker. Then you lift it with the handle to get it to align better.What us that Lisle 65800 supposed to do or how does it work?

It's a hinge-bender.What us that Lisle 65800 supposed to do or how does it work?
Thanks. I ended up taking them out and filing them. They were 0.040 (may have decimal in wrong place) and brought them down to a 0.0393 and it was just enough to be able to drive them in with great force. Pins and bushings are all in super tight and it made little difference, door still sags.
I just received a Lisle 65800 in the mail today, and I'll see if i can finally get this straightened out.
I don't know if I'd be lifting on these handles hard enough to align a door.The one end goes in the latch, the other on the striker. Then you lift it with the handle to get it to align better.
There ya go! Straight to the point!Just get a floor jack and a block of wood and jack up the door while it's open.

no it should adjust the hinge.So that tool adjusts the striker? I now recall I had looked into it. I thought it bent the hinges back at the door?
I tried the jack and piece of block to try to lift my door when I changed the bushings (bushings broke within a few days after that though!), but it didn't work for me. At some point I felt like I on the brink of breaking/folding something...
I think the problem is these doors are so darn heavy for the hinges they provided...
