Great video Bill!!! I like the angle setter and multiplier data. Quick question, When would you choose to use the aluminum head over the iron? Have a great weekend.......

[@SparkyChannel]

I like the aluminum for 1/2" bends as long as you're not on a jobsite where people are rough on tools. The iron are more durable but heavier. Same quality bends though.

[@Aepek]

Yep, so true. Prefer my Aluminum as so much lighter and the new 1/2” Klein conduit bender with angle setter is pretty cool. Thought would be “gimmicky”; but Nope , it works and do like it😀

[@kenbrown2808]

use aluminum when you know you're only going to be bending EMT. it's lighter, so less weight to pick up and set down. use iron when you might be bending Rigid. never let the mud puppies bend rebar with it.

[@SparkyChannel]

@@kenbrown2808 My conduit benders have never met rebar! :)

[@kenbrown2808]

@@SparkyChannel I blew the hook off one trying to adjust either a ufer or a ground rod so it wasn't hanging out of the wall. but normally bending rebar with a conduit bender will just deform it enough that it doesn't bend true.

[@frank480]

I bought a ¾" Klien bender a few years ago. The first time I used it I kinked three conduits in a row. Another journeyman tried it and it kinked on him too. Another bender worked fine on the same conduit so it was definitely the bender.

[@SparkyChannel]

Thanks Frank!

[@garydudgeon]

Great demonstration Sparky. Klein keeps making things like bending, stripping, cutting ... easier, more comfortable, quicker. Great brand of products.

[@SparkyChannel]

They sure do come up with a lot of new ideas! Thanks Gary, have a great weekend!

[@Jeff-Lawrence]

Hi Bill from Sparky channel Fantastic video and fantastic tools Just love everything Klein makes it seems Always look forward to what Sparky has coming next

[@SparkyChannel]

Thanks Jeff, have a great weekend!

[@rezzle2457]

This is ridiculously genius.

[@SparkyChannel]

I agree!

[@dazeman27]

Now I will bend like I drive without gps when I don't have my cheater bender. Stop making me lazy with your brilliant engineering klein!!

[@SparkyChannel]

So true!

[@cookie19292]

I just purchased A three-quarter inch conduit bender I’m having trouble using the 22° angle trying to do an 8 inch offset using the angle setter following all the instructions and it seems to end up 2 inches taller do you have the same problem? I don’t have a problem with my old one though

[@kenbrown2808]

the angle setter looks handy for doing pipe racks.

[@SparkyChannel]

Good point, thanks!

[@Guardducks]

Nice bender, once had a bender old school wasn't the prettiest like the Klein it was made of an old car rotor nor did it have a bender marker. Lol happy Saturday.

[@SparkyChannel]

Nice! :)

[@Aepek]

AWESOME, I remember asking you about these, and glad were able to get some and try out. I had the old versions, but got the new version w/ angle setter in 1/2” ; as use a lot of 1/2” conduit and wanted to give a try. Do like the new conduit bender heads, the style, imo, easier to read and after a few bends.....got used to the angle setter accessory pretty quick (first bend was kinda off😂). Do have the new 1/2” Klein angle setter and it’s cool, just afraid will end up losing the accessory (but, they must know me, as can buy a replacement if gets lost or broke, lol). Thx Sparky for this vid, WAS SO HOPING would make.🙏🏼 Cheers✌🏻

[@SparkyChannel]

I like it too. Thanks so much!

[@williamhammar4821]

[@duanchamp1988]

22 or 22.5 degree?

[@libertarian1637]

I’m an electrician, for more than 20 years now, and figured I’d throw this out there: do the other pros run benders in every size or use some for more than one size? While I don’t do nearly as much conduit work as I used to I was taught and always have used a 3/4” bender for both 1/2” and 3/4” EMT; I still don’t have a 1/2” bender in my kit. I’ve never had conduit get damaged or pinched doing this and it has saved time, money, and force. I just figured I’d put it out there to get some others 2¢

[@dazeman27]

I've never seen anyone do this. I have accidentally done it and my 90s and bends came out weird so I definitely don't know the trick

[@SparkyChannel]

Hi Chris! Thanks for your service in the business! I always have separate benders for the size of conduit.

[@bolarinwamutiu1334]

can 1" bender works for 1/2"

[@SparkyChannel]

@@bolarinwamutiu1334 No.

[@kenbrown2808]

there's a cheat where you can use 1 size larger bender to get a larger radius if you're running two pipes side by side and want concentric bends, but as a general rule, you should use the correct size benders.

[@thomaswatkins6652]

I prefer Ideal when it comes to benders

[@annquach6613]

I would only get the 1 inch version. I prefer aluminum over iron because ductile iron rust so easily

[@chriswindberg5010]

Bill, just curious, what is the angle setter made out of ? Almost looks like plastic. I worry about it having durability issues. I have seen other angle set type benders before but their very specialized. I like that even if you lose the setter for this bender its still a regular bender that can be used normally.

[@SparkyChannel]

Yes, it's plastic and you can buy a replacement for $10 on Amazon. True, you don't need to use the angle setter.

[@marsha414]

Rack a tiers makes one I think they were the first to come up with this idea

[@SparkyChannel]

Thanks!

[@Noah-qt3rq]

How does the stop handle bend kick-back?

[@jmvediting]

@sparky channel . So when you don 10 degree bends do you place your first mark on the first arrow , the triangle , or the star? What about for 90s?

[@Precocktrigger]

All offset bends are at the arrow

[@morodaye1417]

That's what that f---ing thing is? Got a god knows how old completely rusted over one of these things that my family has puzzled over for years. No one had any idea what it was for. I used it to break the ice when the horse trough froze over

[@SparkyChannel]

[@TR-ut3yh]

I feel this comment in my soul

[@Aepek]

Not sure if make just the new conduit bender w/ angle setter head, yet, and if they do; wonder if would fit on the existing old model conduit “handles”. Cuz would be a lot cheaper to swap out the old heads w/ these new ones if wanted the angle setter accessory. Contacted Klein and haven’t heard back yet; but hoping it’s possible, as would save some money if wanted the new style and don’t need entire conduit bender, etc....

[@SparkyChannel]

Aepek, I made a video to answer your question. Be sure to check out Sparky Channel tomorrow AM. :) PS: I'll bet a lot of people have the same question. I went over all the sizes and different brands of handles too.

[@DMSparky]

No centre of bend markers for 30 and 60 degrees any more? Those were awesome. Heck I could even go for 10, 15, and 22 centre of bend markers.

[@harrypnus5098]

Are the Klein benders better now? Back in the days Ideal and Gardner Bender were super popular with the electricians I knew.

[@SparkyChannel]

Yes, they are excellent. So is Ideal. I've never used the Gardner Bender, so I don't have an opinion on it.

[@johnkulpowich5260]

[@SparkyChannel]

I do too, thanks John!

[@MrRubenrivera9649]

nice I have the gardener bender 1's but these r easier

[@slump6982]

I own a 3/4 and it always seems to be off ¼-½ depending on the bend.

[@Azer..]

Each bend shrinks different

[@wim0104]

why a steel version? the aluminum wears out?

[@Sparky-2036]

Durability, but I personally think the weight helps make it easier to bend.

[@dazeman27]

When people set your bender against the wall with the head up, you might find it broken when it falls with aluminum. Worth price and weight trade off imo

[@SparkyChannel]

They make both to cater to people's preference. Aluminum is lighter, iron is more durable.

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

I've never seen an angle setter; I've never heard anyone ever mention one lol; I'm pretty sure that must be a new thing as well as a Klein bender thing. Because I've never see any notches on the inside radius of the bender. That could save time if it is accurate and allows for the spring back

[@SparkyChannel]

It's been accurate for me.

[@SparkyP320]

Looks like you were struggling to keep some weight on that 1” Gotta start eating some more !

[@SparkyChannel]

LOL! That's true!

[@kenbrown2808]

I remember when I was a cub I had to jump up and down on the 1¼ bender to get a good bend.

[@SassafrasSapling]

I see you like to do some tool reviews on your channel so the next video should be explaining how to fix a HOT/GROUND reversed receptacle that will be a great explanation if you find a HOT/GROUND reversed receptacle in your home.

[@michaelhinchey]

Great bender for your personal use but that setter will eventually get lost by someone who borrows it.

[@SparkyChannel]

Thanks, have a great weekend!

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

I have to say, every time I see an orange handled Klein bender and then I see a blue Ideal handled bender, I always reach for Ideal. If seeing the numbers is the problem, they make white paint sticks that you can hit the top of the raised numbers with. I know there's a difference between the 2, and most of the people that have been bending conduit that I know of prefer Ideal over Klein. If you are advertising for Klein benders, you might of showed the camera angle so we could see how the conduit comes down on it and where it actually sets in relation to the degree mark you are bending to. Because there is going to be spring-back for sure, every time! If this was such a great idea, I wonder why at age 56 I haven't ever heard anyone speak of it nor use one or talk about using one, ever! I'm thinking it's just because it was a bad idea that they never let die because they didn't want to waste money changing dye cast for it lol. Personally it is making a person dependent on something that will stunt their growth as an efficient conduit bender. Bending is all about senses, and if you have a piece of plastic doing it for you, which I do not believe is accurate anyway, you will never grow into a good electrician. using that thing isn't going to help anyone grow, and anyone that bends conduit knows it or they should. I wouldn't recommend using a piece of plastic to obstruct the bending process. Bill didn't even look comfortable doing those bends. It looked more like it slowed him down. Because it looked like he hesitated instead of coming down by feel like he usually does. That isn't imagined. That's real! Watch him again and then watch him when he was bending on say the contest bending they were doing and he showed himself picture in picture bending along with a couple of those guys. That thing didn't make him more proficient! It slowed him down!

[@SparkyChannel]

Thanks!

[@RANDOMPEPSIBOTTLES]

Was looking at which brand of benders to buy and i might do Ideal, now. Thanks!

[@herbsgotaZX]

I threw them away that pos doesn't work if you press too much it will kink the EMT and the Junk either gets lost or makes your offset look like dog shit I tried it for 2 weeks threw away so much emt I was on a roof one day and made a crappy offset got pissed and chucked the stupid plastic thing over the roof

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

that just goes to show how observant I am, because I've never paid attention to the numbers opposite of the degree angles.

[@lenamueller3415]

Garbage! What ever happened to skill? What about breaking/ losing the plastic pieces?

[@user-nh3gu1ge3d]

What an idiotic comment. "Yeah, let's do things the hard way because tradition! Don't do things the easy way, that's too easy!" There's still skill involved in doing a nice, neat job, this just makes it a little easier. If you break or lose the plastic piece then you buy a new one and/or do without. Eyeball it. It probably won't be quite as good. Can you really not figure this out for yourself, luddite fool? Why are you even on the internet commenting? Whatever happened to writing your thoughts on pen and paper and publishing them in the town square? In fact, don't use this tool at all because we don't need electricity. Whatever happened to fires and lamps for heat and light? Rethink your idiotic comments and thought processes next time.
