User reviews

Works with only one bender type.

Option to enter a bender, bit won't accept my common Ridgid Ideal conduit bender. Just bought, don't want, don't know how to get money back. :-(

I don’t understand the marks

What does a negative mark mean? Is that a measurement back from the obstruction? The app doesn’t give much instruction.

I bought it can’t figuneed to return it for a refund. Probably good for the right user.

I bought it thinking it would apply to the hand bender I use, can’t figure out how to ask to return it for a refund. Probably good for the right user.

Actually very good

I have used this app extensively for 5 years. It works very good except for one drawback. When you calculate an offset or 4 point saddle where you need to get the rise up before the obstacle this app gives the wrong starting point for the first mark. If you use the start it gives you will hit the obstacle. I find that if I shift the starting point about 4 inches sooner and move all the marks towards the starting point the same amount I can obtain my rise before the obstacle and if it’s a saddle I come off the obstacle right away instead of going 4 inches past it before starting that bend. The data page is very helpful with gain, setback, take up and travel. All around very useful.
