Young Electrician gets passionate about why Trades are Safe, is this True? #hendythesparky

What happens here

The electrician begins by carefully positioning a piece of 1/2-inch Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) conduit into the shoe of a manual conduit bender. He ensures the conduit is correctly seated and aligned, likely using a marked indicator on the bender for the precise bending point. He then places his foot firmly on the bender's foot pedal to stabilize the tool and provide leverage. Applying steady downward pressure on the handle of the bender while simultaneously pulling it towards him, he smoothly bends the conduit. The bending action continues with controlled force until the conduit forms a clean, kink-free 90-degree angle. Once the bend is complete, he removes the conduit from the bender to inspect the result.

Goal: Achieve a precise 90-degree bend in a 1/2-inch EMT conduit.
