Question Radiator Fin Straightener/Comb

A part of the radiator has some bent fins that I want to straighten out. Has anyone tried this before?

JEGS 80760 JEGS Radiator Fin Comb

To me, doesn't look like it would work. If the fin is bent, the tooth of that comb would probably just push/crush the bent fin in more.

I bought this and tried it on the power steering radiator grille located at the very front of the vehicle. A small part of it was bent a lot, and it actually proved very effective in straightening them. It doesn't have the factory look but it's now not bent.
