As an instructor this book is the best tool I have found to teach my students the art of conduit bending. As an electrician I use this book every time I lay out a conduit run. This manual is easy to understand and transforms the novice to a craftsman with it's step by step method for bend layouts. I would find it hard pressed to teach conduit bending without this book.

I bought this book origianlly in 1993, from a book store in Houston, Texas. Had I known how much information and knowledge I would gain from this one book, I would have purchased 10! I'm attemting to replace my original book since it's about to fall apart from so much use. I teach coduit bending from the Apprentice to Journeyman level, and this book as been my instructors guide. It's an absolute gem! It's a shame it's so hard to find.

In the electrician's field of work, the bottom dollar for the contractor is to minimize cost for material as much as possible. When an electrician can utilize his skill in bending conduit with accuracy, performance speaks volumes about his training. I use this book in my classes because it gives clear instructions in conduit bending but also pre-determined measurements can be used. All the measurements are calculated and cut, examples are easy to follow. By the time my labs for bending are complete, the students have no problems on their commercial project. This book is must, believe me!

I highly recommend this book. It has given me the knowledge to teach myself how to make better bends. It takes the guesswork out bending and saves EMT. It is well written and includes examples and problems (with answers) to work out on paper or real EMT so you can get actual experience. The spiral binding is a plus as you can lay it flat, on the page you're on, while you work. Anybody who doesn't have someone to teach them bending should definitely buy this book as well as those who need a reference book while being taught.

This book is the best I won't argue that. Photographic pictures and simple explanations. The book should come in the $20 range however as it is a trade reference book as well as instructional. They get worn out in the tool box. I have purchased several copies over the years and never paid more than $20.

This book is very helpful. It was good to review over what I have learned over the years.
