Bend it right the first time. Conduit Bender Elite takes the trig out of offsets, saddles, and segmented 90s — enter your measurements and get exact bend marks and angles in seconds, so your time goes into the pipe, not the math. Electricians have trusted Conduit Bender Elite on the job for over a decade. Every calculator shows your mark placement, bend angles, and shrink at a glance, backed by clear diagrams and step-by-step instructions in the language of the trade. BEND CALCULATORS • Offset (Far Bend Critical) • Offset (Near Bend Critical) • Rolling Offset (Far Bend Critical) • Rolling Offset (Near Bend Critical) • Three Bend Saddle • Four Bend Saddle • 90° Stub-Up • Kicked 90° • Segmented 90° • Back-to-Back 90s • Parallel runs — keep multiple conduits tracking together through a bend • Rectangle Obstruction • Square Obstruction • Round Obstruction BUILT FOR THE JOBSITE • Enter your measurements, get your marks — results update instantly • Diagrams and step-by-step help for every calculator • Works completely offline — no signal, no ads, no subscription • Inches or centimeters, switchable in Preferences • Custom deduct / take-up settings for ½" through 4" conduit (16–103 mm) • Available in 8 languages, including Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, and Chinese DIGITAL LEVEL (optional in-app purchase) Bend to the beep. Open the level from any calculator and it loads your target bend angle automatically — watch the live readout on the pipe and get an audible beep the moment you hit the angle. Multi-angle bends like kicks and saddles step through each target angle with one tap. WHO IT'S FOR Journeyman and apprentice electricians, industrial maintenance techs, and anyone who bends conduit.
