Good benders, light weight and easy to carry around site.....compared to the larger blue Record type, I think they were Record

sorry to be a bit pedantic but a reamer is a precision tool used after a drill to get a precise sized hole

TLC sell a budget bender for £222, I bought it a few years ago and it works perfectly fine. Wouldn't even attempt steel conduit without one.

Reamer.

Gas foot prints does the job, on the handle.

You can pick up a cheap one on eBay for £80, or a decent Hilmor goes for £100 to £150 secondhand.

when buying a conduit bender no matter what the brand is bend a 90 degree and a 45 degree and check them with a protractor for accuracy.
some units may need tweaking to give consistently accurate results
small conduit can be corrected easily if slightly over or under bent but large conduit can be an absolute monster to correct.

Use your snips to debur or a rat tail file.

Does Anna Soubry need a good reaming along with Amanda Rudd by the Brexit Mafia after we've left the EU and holding to fingers up to Macron and Drunken Junker...?

Just a thought.
