He explains that this is commonly done when doors are being painted to avoid painting the weather strips, or when they are damaged (e.g., by pets) or have old paint on them. He showcases the main tool, a painter's 5-in-1 tool, and mentions a screwdriver as an alternative. He emphasizes that new weather strips are inexpensive and easy to replace, often without tools for reinstallation.
