What happens here

After creating the offset with the manual bender, the son attempts to fit the bent 1/2" EMT conduit into the electrical box. While it does fit into the box, the father notes that 'it worked, but it's not that great,' implying that the bend is not as clean or precise as desired, possibly due to the initial over-bend or slight misalignment.

Goal: Assess the fit and quality of the conduit offset made with the manual bender.

Tools and materials

  • 1/2" EMT Conduit — The bent material being tested
  • Electrical Box — Used to test the fit of the conduit

What they say

let it stick out about 1 inch from the end of the shoe. Keep going. >> Not much. Right. >> Go ahead. Push them out more cuz you're not on the gap. Go ahead. Push right 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?
