Drop'n Volts is a powerful, field-ready voltage drop and conductor sizing calculator built for electricians. Enter your load, distance, material, and phase (single or three-phase), and instantly get the minimum conductor size required. Go beyond basic calculations by adding multiple conductors to your run and ensuring compliance with NEC conduit fill requirements. Select conductor insulation types and conduit materials to match real-world installations. Designed for accuracy and efficiency, Drop'n Volts helps you plan complete runs—not just single circuits. Once finished, easily email detailed results including all key inputs and calculations for documentation or review.
ConduitWorker
This app calculates precise conduit bending marks for electricians, handling mixed-size parallel offsets and standard bends. It offers a digital level, conduit fill checks, and a bender library for accurate installations.
- Multi-size parallel offset calculation
- Standard offset bends (10°-60°)
- 3-point and 4-point saddle bends
- 90° stub-up with deduct values
- Kicked 90° bends
- Conduit fill check (NEC Chapter 9)
- Digital level for live angle reading

No other bend calculator handles mixed-size parallel offsets. Run 1/2" and 3/4" EMT through the same offset — ConduitWorker computes the exact mark shift for both pipes. Free download. $6.99 unlocks everything, once. Every electrician running a mixed rack knows the problem: two different conduit sizes, same offset, no app that solves it. You lay them on the floor, measure the gap by hand, and re-bend what doesn't fit. That ends here. ConduitWorker takes your two conduit sizes, your clearance, and your bend angle, then outputs the exact first-bend mark shift for the larger pipe. Both conduits stay parallel through the offset. No guessing. No re-bends. Multi-size parallel offset is built into v1 — not a future update. Mark clarity is the other fix. QuickBend's most common complaint is confusion over which mark to place first. ConduitWorker labels every result: MARK 1 — ARROW, MARK 2 — STAR, MARK 3 — DIAMOND. A conduit-stick diagram on every result screen shows each mark's position, color-coded and dimensioned. - Multi-size parallel offset: two conduit sizes, one run, exact marks computed - Standard offset with shrinkage: 10°, 22.5°, 30°, 45°, 60° - 3-point saddle and 4-point saddle - 90° stub-up with bender-specific deduct values - Kicked 90° - Same-size parallel offset - Bender library: Greenlee 555, Greenlee hand, Klein, Ideal, Gardner Bender — preloaded - Add your own custom bender with exact deduct values - NEW: Conduit fill check - NEC Chapter 9 fill for THHN in EMT, IMC, rigid - NEW: Digital level - lay your phone on the pipe, read the bend angle live - EMT, IMC, and rigid conduit OD reference tables - Fractional input — enter 6 3/8, not 6.375 Works offline. No account required. No ads. No tracking beyond crash and usage analytics. Three bends free. $6.99 unlocks the rest forever.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ConduitWorker at Free against Drop'n Volts's $1.99. ConduitWorker also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (3 vs 1). Drop'n Volts's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
