Straightening a trailer tongue using a jack and a chain

When he arrived he told me he had a challenge for me
A fed EX truck had backed into his trailer and bend the tongue.
This was how I straightened it I first put in on a pair of work horses then placed my hydraulic toe jack on the damaged area and used a chain to jack against.
