    What does it matter if he grabs a single pair of pliers with both hands? Why did he make that bend in the middle tho?

      The bend at the end, I suppose is to put the strip in tension and make it less likely it will slip

      Grabbing with both hands you make it extremely easy for electricity to go through your heart. Electricians are usually thought not to use both hands for anything if possible, since if cable is powered chances of serious injury are slimmer. Also twist at the end was to increase tension on the wire.

      i imagine that puts the wire under tension for better contact at both ends. pretty smart actually.
