@manzariluca The way he shows in the video isnt a great way to bend fretwire by hand. A better way is to use a pair of end nippers to hold the fretwire loosely by the tang then use your hand to bend it ( thumb on tang, others on crown). If you grab the fretwire with vise grips like he does there is a chance that you will scratch the crown of the fret and/or bend the tang the wrong way. Also you should slightly over radius the fret rather than matching the fretboard radius like he does.
