Conduit bender..

[STONEZZZ]

Just wondering if this was worth buying?

 

[chopper76]

Are you gonna use it?

 

[STONEZZZ]

If its Any good for bending 20&25mm galv conduit then yes I will..

 

[Mr Mark Sparks]

Still going to need a vice anyway.
if its for a one off job hire station 20 quid a week for hilmar vice/bender

 

[chopper76]

To be honest mate I can't see the piccy. My phone don't wanna load the picture I'm just mucking about, beer does that

I think what you have pictured is an American hand bender for EMT conduit. I doubt it would be good enough for our conduit. Also, as mentioned, how would you thread it?

 

[STONEZZZ]

Lol... Hangover tomorrow

its probably for plumbing

 

[STONEZZZ]

I have seen these benders in the wholesalers, but not really paid much attention..
i just got the pic from Internet ... Wasn't sure if it was us or uk... Might be uuseful for adjustments after threading?

It looks a bit pants, how much is it?

 

[Geordie Spark]

Stick to the Hilmore or Record benders mate.

Agreed, but would add Irwin to that list. That said, I have a feeling that Irwin is Record under another name.

Tell me about it ...... I have two of them - both are sadly my sons.

Just this afternoon one of them managed to fall of a ladder while cutting the hedge.

He's only just returned from hospital where nothing of concern was found - apart from him being a bender that is.

So he landed on his head and missed his brain by 4 feet? :biggrin5:

Used one?? I have the misfortune to be the Father to one of them and another that isn't quite sure yet. I wish I could find a use for them !!! :angry_smile:

You got it in one pet ........ It's bad enough that the bloody idiot managed to fall in the first place, but it's something else when he was so stupid as to not know how to land properly.

I'm speechless ..... almost!!
