IDEAL 74-046 Aluminum Bender with Handle for 1/2 EMT Conduit

Using the Ideal 74 - 046 Aluminum Bender is easy. First, make sure you have the handle attached. Place the 1/2 EMT conduit in the bender, starting at the flat hook surface. You can use the degree scale, star, arrow, and rim notch to guide you for perfect bends. When applying force, use the deeply serrated step to prevent slippage. The grooved internal hook surface will also help keep the conduit in place. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the bender to remove any dirt or debris. Check the stress - reinforced points regularly for any signs of wear. Since it's made of lightweight aluminum, avoid dropping it or subjecting it to excessive force that could damage the structure. This will help ensure the long - lasting performance of your bender.
