Plastic - bending springs.

Galv - A Hilmor Shortie, stocks and dies, file and a reamer. If you intend doing lots of galv work then a REMS amigo will be your best friend.

Have a look at this video of some galv conduit work i did a while ago, took 2 1/2 days to tube, wire and connect, good going i think, but theres always someone who wants to slag off your work.....just read the comments!!

Thats the nature of You tube im afraid

i think 2.5 days to do that is good going. i certainly couldnt do it that quick. but im sure it comes with lots and lots of practice. and motivation! lol

You Young sprogs dont no how easy you have it, when we started Conduit bending it was a 3ft length of 2x3 with a hole in one end to suit the diameter .You would be amazed at the bends you can do and proffessional at that.

I never thought I would be saying this .

There’s something thing you all seem to have forgotten. Once the conduit is finished you’ve got to draw the wires through. A fish wire, French chalk or talcum powder makes life a lot easier.

I’ve had to divert conduits with VIR’s in them. French chalk was a godsend, it still works with PVC.
Diverting the conduits involved changing from imperial to metric, a real pain in the ****.

If you look at your pliers the diamond shape on the outside of the jaws is your reamer. Always ready to hand
