Answer This Question

Not exactly for schedule 40 pipe it is used on steel electrical conduit. Works great on conduit to run wires from distribution panels to light fixtures, receptacles and wall switches.

      Answer This Question

      Not sure it may work for 3/4” but the 1” may take a stouter handle.

      By|Nov 22, 2019

        No, this model is 1/2'' EMT.

        By|Sep 20, 2019

          smj the handle on this bender is our 74-019 handle and fits the 1/2' and 3/4' bender heads both ductile iron and aluminum. So you could buy just the 3/4' head separately if you wanted. Hope that helps Ron at ron.kipper@idealindustries.com

                  Great Quality
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband is an electrician and he recently started his own business. This has made bending pipe easier for him and it’s one of the better quality benders he used.

                    Excellent product and easy to use, I recommend it
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent durability has this product as it is of very good material. Its handle is excellent and has a blue enamel finish that resists corrosion. Its materials are resistant. The product helps to have precision in any job when it comes to accurately bending electric metal pipes specifically of 1/2 inches. It is made of high-strength material.

                      Excellent quality
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first product from IDEAL and I’m very impressed. Extremely good quality. The iron bender is durable and easy to work with. Gave precise and consistent bends every single time. It’s sturdy but not too heavy that it’s a burden to use. Portable and designed to perfectly grip into your hands and bend pipe with the least amount of effort. Came already assembled. I love the color and sleek design. Easy to store
                      by
                        Good quality
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This ductile iron bender feels very sturdy and well-made. The handle provides good leverage, making beds smooth and controlled. It’s durable, easy to use and works great for presise bending. Overall, a reliable tool for anyone who needs consistent result.

                          A heavy-duty, reliable bender that gets the job do
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this IDEAL bender on the job for a while now. The materials are solid—the ductile iron feels incredibly durable and holds up well under pressure without flexing. Its performance is exactly what you want; it makes clean, accurate bends on 1/2-inch conduit without kinking the pipe. The fit is precise, so the conduit stays seated well during the bend. I find the reach and leverage from the handle length to be sufficient for most everyday tasks, though it definitely has some heft to it. Regarding maintenance, there isn't much to it—just keep it clean and wipe off the grit after use, and it's ready for the next day. It’s a no-nonsense tool that just works.

                              amazing!
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked this Iron bender! It works good. It’s amazing quality and is also pretty heavy. It is very easy to use. The bottom is heavy metal and bends poles easily. The measurements help a lot when bending.

                                A decent ductile bender
                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ideal ductile iron bender is neat! I used it for ductile work this past weekend and it worked decent. I wish it was alittle more adjustable. The quality is decent on it but I did bend it alittle. I recommend this for ductile work if you can find it for a decent price.
