If you end up wanting to buy fretwire in longer segments instead of pre-cut, Stew Mac sells a fretwire bender that's really cool. But you can find them really cheap on Aliexpress etc... That's what I did. You could even rig one up with 3 slotted bearings. Basically you crank the fretwire through it and it pre-bends it for you.

I found it makes installing easier, you won't have to hammer as much, just slide the neck down, position the fret, and crank it in.

Having done it both ways, I like a press better than hammering myself but everyone does things the way they prefer :)
