Now that's too funny!

As for myself: I use Siterite II by Greenlee. I like their lower weight. I have bent some GRC with them, but EMT is my norm.

I like Benfield, in iron, almost as much.

I have no difficulties with the others; but I do like the Greenlee, Benfield, Ideal 30 degree scheme.

electure: that's a new one on me. I'm going to use it. Thanks.

My 1/2" and 3/4" are Klein/Benfield. My 1" is an old, old Appleton that I bought off of a retired EC who bought it off of an old sparky in the 50s. My 1-1/4" is a Greenlee I bought off Ebay for $35.00. It looks new. I've used it several times in the 3 years I've owned it. A fellow sparky I know has benders with the levels in them. He doesn't use that feature much since a level concrete floor is rare.

I've found over the years that I probably have bent more EMT with the shoe up than down. Thanx for the rubber tip tip.
