Make Cabinet Door Spraying EASY?

What happens here

Based on a common user suggestion to sharpen the hooks, take a Dremel tool and carefully sharpen the tips of the Paint Line hinge hooks. Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from metal shards and gloves to maintain a good grip and prevent cuts. The goal is to see if a sharper point improves the hook's ability to 'bite' into the hinge holes and prevent displacement, although the original hooks are already somewhat sharp.

Goal: Modify the hinge hooks to test if increased sharpness improves their grip.

What they say

one thing they actually are sharp already and they do it that's a big reason why it actually is doing a good job but I'm gonna try to do a before-and-after with a little bit of science and a little bit of modding to see if we get any different results I was throwing the ball hard before but I'm really gonna see if I can break a window or something with this if nothing else I'm wearing it down you know each hit has to be doing something you're not going down to be fair if we got muscle man Chris over here you get probably you probably knock it down in one but doing my best yeah it's like a carnival game this poor door it's impossible to know exactly how hard I hit that thing but I'm going to take it inside and I use a dremel tool to sharpen the edges those hooks and then I'll not take it back out here to see if there's any significant difference if we can actually get it to stick into the sides of those hinge holes so just by moving this thing
