Yea guys, but for $15.00 at the "L" store, you can't beat it. It's revolutionized my pvc bending theory. Stick a label on it "pvc bender" instead of "work light", and I could make a bundle Make the cage a little bigger to accept 2" pvc and wow!! I could hire somebody else to do my grunt work.
You guys wait right here while I get the drawing table ready

I use an electric heat gun. But, I also carry a small 500 W. worklite. It is now officially my "back-up" PVC heater.
Anything is better than dumping some PVC cement on it and torching it.
(I know someone who has done this!!)

Redsy,
I've seen this happen too, on more than one occassion, one guy even set his hair on fire, doing it!.
Sparkync, thanks for the idea, it's a good'un! and the delivery was even better.
I once caught a young apprentice trying to bend a piece of 2" conduit with a blow-torch, with the PVC wires already inside it, and man did he come in for a caning(figure of speech).
