I was like, is it really possible to do it by hand ? I mean when the car is brand new are the pistons that easy to push ?

Last weekend when I did my brakes I used a small bench vise (not attached to a bench obviously) to squeeze the piston but I did it the vise jaws contacting directly the piston, at that time I figured that the piston end was fairly solid but now I read here that damage is possible. What damage are we talking about ?
