1/2-Inch EMT Conduit Bender Head, Aluminum Electrical Pipe Bending Tool

This has already recieve great reviews and I am adding another good review to the list. Using an adapter I can move the handle from my 1, 3/4 and this 1/2 bender. Much less costly than the Ideal group of benders and takes less space in the work van.

Save yourself some money. The same item with a handle was priced at over 40 dollars. I bought this one and used the handle from my floor jack and it worked perfectly

I picked this up for some electrical work and it’s been solid. The aluminum head feels sturdy without being overly heavy. It handles 1/2-inch EMT cleanly and makes consistent bends without kinking the pipe. Once I got my marks lined up, the angle bends came out accurate and repeatable. It’s straightforward to use and doesn’t feel flimsy like some of the cheaper options out there. Whether you’re doing a small DIY project or regular electrical runs, it does what it’s supposed to do. Simple tool. Strong build. Clean bends. That’s really all I need from a conduit bender.

This is a standard conduit bender for 1/2" conduit. It accepts a 3/4" pipe to be used as a handle. the construction is a bit lighter weight than ones you can buy at the hardware store, and the foot pedal is a bit smaller than others I have used, but it seems to function just fine nonetheless. It appears to be constructed of cast aluminum, which is similar to others I have used, and seems durable enough for the job. All the marking you expect are there to bend at various angles and align starting points for your bends. If you are familiar with bending conduit, this is just as easy to use as any other. The $20 price point makes it a bit cheaper than others I have found in retail stores, so that's a plus too.
