Heh...never knew such a beast existed. Do a few offsets with bender and it becomes second nature. Or, you could always use the offset connectors http://www.aifittings.com/b_8.htm#890

Use those offset connectors, and it looks DIY.

If the situation called for it, I'd use offset connectors and not care how it "looks".

I have the 1/2" bender, and it has prooven itself quite useful- especialy when I either
forget the offset on a piece with a bend near the end, or when I am adding a box to the middle of an existing run.

Oddly enough, electricians must be getting weaker with time; my model has a ahndle quite a bit shorter than that on the current model.

iwire, you just might be. I've known a few guys that could bend conduit just by looking at where the bend was going to go. And it would always fit! I'm pretty good at conduit, but I always have to measure and mark it. That's why I prefer the offset benders.
