Customer Reviews for Milwaukee 3/4 in. Iron Conduit Bender and Handle

Awesome

Just as advertised

Well there are quite a few features I really like. First this bender is very heavy even for an iron bender. This actually is not a bad thing. Being heavier than most benders will aid in bending your pipe up in the air. I do alot of my pipe bending this way because of my bad back. Also the weight insure years of acurate bends and use. I like the very high visibility of the reference marks on the bender. Most electricians highlight these Mark's anyway it's just that this bender comes with even bigger more visible marks. If I am not mistaken the handle is straight up on a 30 degree bend easier calculations this way. Just a really well thought out bender. I am very happy with it. The handle comes with a sticker that will aid in making calculations for box sets 90s 45s saddles and all other bends. This is the last 3/4 bender I will need it will outlive me. Now the only con I have is the handle does not thread into the bender head. Milwaukee chose to redesign this. The handle is simply inserted into the head and two screws are screwed through the side of the head and into the handle. Not sure how long this will hold up. Also being a tall person I like the option of changing the handle with a longer pipe. Other than that it's perfect.

Been making 2”-4” holes in switch gears and termination cabinets for Pepco I have yet to run into any problems with this tool. If you are making multiple holes in metal this is a game changer.

The Milwaukee conduit benders come in two versions, iron and aluminum. These iron conduit benders are stronger and more durable than the aluminum ones, which are strong in their own right up to 3/4" size. If you need 1" EMT bending capability you need to go with the iron versions. There are a lot of improvements that I, as someone that doesn't have to bend conduit frequently really appreciate. The markings on the white markings on the black shoe are easy to read compared to other conduit benders. Reference charts help make common offset bends. The hook and pedal are reinforced and the handle is bolted to the head so you don't have to spend time tightening it down every time it comes loose. The metal tube handle is hollow which allows you to use it for leverage if you stick the end of the conduit inside to make some adjustments if the bend didn't come out right.

Since my days as a refinery worker I've wanted my very own conduit bender. The 3/4 IN. IRON CONDUIT BENDER AND HANDLE has the Benfield Head Design. The same design we used at work. However, the difference is, the 3/4 IN. IRON CONDUIT BENDER AND HANDLE is actually lighter yet more durable. The wider foot offers better stability and leverage. The die-cast aluminum head with steel handle is a great improvement versus the all-iron and very heavy conduit bender. After a few test bends I'm getting better with using degree and multiplier scales. These scales appear to be very accurate. I'm also learning that scale accuracy is important in performing more challenging bends. My bends are now more precise with no noticeable ovaling or deformations. If you're looking for a great tool for the money, I recommend the 3/4 IN. Iron Conduit Bender and Handle.

Milwaukee 48-22-4081 ¾” Iron Conduit Bender – This conduit bender will bend ¾” EMT and ½” GRC / IMC conduit…This conduit bender has been very well designed with high contract angle markings, double bolted handle, textured handle for constant grip and a bending guide attached to the handle showing the bending offsets and bending tables...I tested this conduit bender bending 3/4" EMT, 1/2" GRC and 1/2" PVC after being heated to complete a 90 degree bend without being pinched or collapsed...This conduit bender performed as indicated, intended and expected without any problems...

Milwaukee makes a great conduit bender! Bend increment markings are very high contrast, so they're easy to spot while working on layout. I found myself bending over to look at where I was at on the stick less. Shoe is grippy and easy to step on for stronger angles, and bends were nice and clean. Hook bites into the conduit very well; I didn't have any slipping away from my bends like with other conduit benders I've used. Definitely worth a look.

Talk about a quality tool and this is it! Especially impressed with the double bolted handle which makes for a very sturdy and secure tool. The offset marketers and bend indicators take the guess work out of bending. We use a lot of 3/4” EMT conduit and this bender is perfect for our many remodeling projects. Surprisingly simple and easy to use. Best of all comes with the Milwaukee lifetime warranty!

The hole puncher is easier then i was imagine to use.

I wish I had purchased this tool sooner. Easy to use and fast.
