Have you tried to get a bush spanner to fit on a bush these days?Use a bush spanner to tighten up.
Bubble set???????Mines years old,still does the trick.
Seen so many crappy installs using conduit,especially the bubble set.
Not just me then , dug mine out the other day from the bottum of my tool box but the bush heads was so thin i could not get a good grip on them .Have you tried to get a bush spanner to fit on a bush these days?

Try 32mm conduit.........When I was younger,hated 25mm conduit,skinny little runt,had difficulty bending it,proper nanna.
Been on site recently,sparkies used it everywhere.
Even for external lights which I thought way over the top.
20mm would of sufficed,but hey oh.

Yes, it also has an extension handle to double the length (shown in photo below), will do all steel conduit sizes from 25mm to 2". Got it second hand from ebay, appears to have BT numbers stamped on it, the dies were all in their original wrapping, seemed never to have been used. I've posted a photo before, also have a conduit bender that does up to 2", though it works better on screwed steel pipe.Is that a ratchet threader you have on the end of that conduit?
Conduit end box would be my preferred method, it worked for me when I was working, and nothing much has change in the reseeding years, knocking bits off the brick corner is not good practice in my book smacks of Cowboyism. Do the job properly first time, have some pride in your craftsmanship, don't turn into a conduit thrower.Always a prob going round external corner,outside,some take out the brick,others,end box,conduit into that,whatever.

Never used that ,thank godTry 32mm conduit.........
easy my arse. the hard part is getting the reverse bend at exactly 180deg. to the first. couple of degrees out and you end up with a donkey's hind leg.View attachment 44226 There you go,it’s so easy
