What happens here

The father suggests trying the second method for bending an offset, using the specialized offset 'kicker' tool. The son picks up the green kicker tool, positions a new piece of conduit, and with a single, swift motion ('one shot straight down and out'), quickly creates a clean and precise offset bend. This specialized tool simplifies the process significantly.

Goal: Create an accurate conduit offset using a specialized offset bender.

Tools and materials

  • Specialized Offset Bender — Quickly and accurately bending conduit offsets
  • 1/2" EMT Conduit — The material being bent

there. Oh, wow. Okay. That's my 10° offset. Let me see if it fits in this box. Okay. All right. Well, it worked, but it's not that great, right? Let's try it again. Let's do the other side. Take it out. You're better off even trying to use the little kicker. Put the little kicker in this one. One shot straight down and out. Yep. You remove the the tool. See that bend? >> That's way easier. >> Definitely way easier. But that's 300 $400 for that tool. So, you should be able to do it with this as well.
