The IDEAL Electrical Guardian EMT Bender makes it easy to accurately and consistently bend conduit, whether you are a seasoned Pro, or just getting started. Its ductile iron head provides exceptional durability on the jobsite, and its rugged design is built to withstand a lifetime of heavy use.
The textured blue handle features a corrosion resistant coating that provides additional grip, and increased visibility in dim areas. Additionally, the handle is fixed to the head, eliminating the need to tighten the handle, and it even doubles as a straight edge to measure your next bend.
When it comes to innovation, the preset angle stopper takes the guesswork out of bending. The angle markings are machined in for increased accuracy, and provides a firm stopping point when you’ve successfully completed the bend. In basic terms, the Guardian Bender allows someone of any skill level the ability to create the perfect bend, every time.
Adjusting the stopper is very quick and easy. Simply press the spring-loaded lock button and slide the stopper to your desired angle. Once the lock pin drops securely into the detent slot, you’re ready to get to work.
