## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used to bend the smaller 3/4" emt?  i don't want to have to purchase two benders if not necessary.**
A: This is for 1” EMT and 3/4” Rigid conduit, you’ll need to by another bender if you wanna bend 3/4”EMT. EMT is a thin walled conduit, Rigid is a thick walled conduit

**Q: Is the handle oversized to fit over 1"EMT for fine tweaking?**
A: No it is not

**Q: can you use this 1" bender for 1/2" EMT?  Or only 1" and 3/4"**
A: I believe this is only for 1". I have separate benders for 3/4" and 1/2".

**Q: Is it an iron head or aluminum head bender?**
A: This is an iron head bender not one of those crummy aluminum ones. Bender works great.
