Looks like the typical cresent style wrench but when in closed position has a "C" shape cut out on the very end! What is this tool used for? Thanks

I've seen that. They were using it to bend door hinges when the door was catching on the frame. It saves taking it down and planing it or belt sanding. Of course you have to pull the hinge pins anyway.
I'll be ordering one.
You might want a Stanley 10" Max Grip. It's an adjustable wrench that locks like vice-grips.
A good friend of mine that had a autobody shop had a similar tool. Handle was about 2' long and the working end would fit into a car door latch and the body locking post. With the door almost shut he would apply enough force on the handle to slightly bend the door hinge. The door wouldn't shut and latch properly and he would write frame damage on the estimate and collect a few hundred more. He and I finally became responsible adults. I think it was last Friday.
I've found that screws holding the hinge to the door frame get loose over time. You can tighten them up and sometimes that cures the problem. Not always but it's the easiest and cheapest thing to try first.
First I've seen or heard of this tool. Interesting,thanks.
dang it now I wlll be ordering another tool 😁
