NCFJ,
The top corner is just slightly folded over, like an earmarked page in a book, This tool seems like it is for bigger dents?

Hammer & Dolly- but maybe you want to have a body shop check it out?

That looks pretty easy to fix it's hard to tell if it's dented in? Go get an angle wire grinder and grind the paint off. Then get Hammer & Buck and just to flatten out the sheetmetal. I don't think it requires much work. And then top it off with some body filler to blend with the sheetmetal

I ended up doing just this and using a hammer and dolly. worked great.
