EMT Conduit Benders: Used for bending thin wall electrical metallic tubing (EMT).
Offset Conduit Benders: Used for creating an offset bend in thin wall electrical metallic tubing (EMT).
Rigid Pipe Benders: Used for bending thick wall electrical rated rigid steel pipe.
Electrical Conduit and Pipe Benders
Electrical conduit benders are available for sizes 1/2 to 1- 1/4 inch.
Hydraulic pipe benders are available for larger sizes of electrical conduit and rigid pipe.
Heated PVC pipe benders are available in a variety of sizes.
Full Radius EMT Conduit Bender
The bender itself is bought as a shoe and threaded onto a rigid metal pipe which may be interchangeable with a few different sizes of benders.
The bender to the left is a full size radius bender. Some brands of benders for larger size conduits may be used for rigid conduits which are one size smaller than the EMT size conduit.
Short Radius EMT Conduit Bender
This is a short radius bender used for 1/2 inch EMT. Keep in mind that when using short radius bends it will be more difficult to pull in the wire.
Offset EMT Conduit Bender
This is a Offset Bender which is great for creating the offset bend allowing the EMT to line up perfectly with most metal junction box openings, such as the 4-Square box. This offset bender is available for 1/2 and 3/4 inch EMT.
Hickey Rigid Pipe Bender
This hickey bender is used for bending heavy wall rigid pipe and is great for creating bends in tight places, like trenches etc.

Home Improvement Electrical Wiring
All home electrical wiring projects should be performed correctly by trained and qualified individuals who understand the principles of electrical circuit wiring and the basic fundamentals of home construction. Detailed information is provided throughout areas of this website about the complexity of specific projects to help assist with you to understand the scope of work involved.
The following categories will provide more specific information for each project - below is an Example:
Electrical Project Skill Level:
Intermediate to Advanced - Best performed by a Licensed Electrical Contractor.
Electrical Tools Required:
Basic Electricians Pouch Hand Tools and a Voltage Tester.
Estimated Time:
Depends on the personal level experience, ability to work with tools, install electrical circuit wiring, and the available access to the project area. Electrical Safety:
Identify the electrical circuits found in the project area, turn them OFF and Tag them with a Note before working with the electrical wiring.
Home Electrical Parts and Materials:
Electrical parts and materials for home wiring projects should be approved for the specific project and compliant with local and national electrical codes.
Electrical Codes and Inspections:
Installing additional home electrical wiring should be done according to local and national electrical codes with a permit and be inspected.
This is a testing tool that is a Non-contact tester that I use to easily Detect Voltage in Cables, Cords, Circuit Breakers, Lighting Fixtures, Switches, Outlets and Wires. Simply insert the end of the tester into an outlet, lamp socket, or hold the end of the tester against the wire you wish to test. Very handy and easy to use.
This is great to troubleshoot a problem with outlet circuit wiring, is also used by most inspectors to test for power and check the polarity of circuit wiring.
It detects probable improper wiring conditions in standard 110-125 VAC outlets
Provides 6 probable wiring conditions that are quick and easy to read for ultimate efficiency
Lights indicate if wiring is correct and indicator light chart is included
Tests standard 3-wire outlets UL Listed Light indicates if wiring is incorrect, Very handy and easy to use.
A wire stripping tool used to safely strip electrical wires.
This handy tool has multiple uses:
The wire gauges are shown on the side of the tool so you know which slot to use for stripping insulation.
The end of the tool can be used to grip and bend wire which is handy for attaching wire onto the screw terminals of switches and outlets.
