BendCraft Pro is a professional conduit bending and electrical calculator built for electricians — on the pole, in the panel, or in the truck. No subscription. No ads. No accounts. Buy it once, own it forever. BENDING CALCULATORS — all 10 types • Offset • Stub-Up (90°) • Kick • Three-Point Saddle • Four-Point Saddle • Rolling Offset • Parallel Offset (with gang-bending mode) • Concentric Bends • Segment Bends • Compound Bends Every calculator shows a live diagram and a step-by-step bend order alongside the numbers, so you know exactly where to mark and in what sequence — not just a number on a screen. ELECTRICAL CALCULATORS • Voltage Drop — checks your run against the NEC 3% guideline and suggests the smallest conductor size that holds • Conduit Fill — NEC Chapter 9 fill percentage across multiple cable groups, pass/fail at a glance YOUR BENDER, BUILT IN Choose from 11 real bender models — Greenlee and Klein — with centerline radius sourced directly from each manufacturer's own published specs. Pick yours and skip the tape measure, or measure your own bender once and save it forever. Live feasibility feedback shows exactly how much room you have before you commit to a mark — an actual margin, not just pass/fail. Pin your most-used benders as favorites for one-tap access next time. PROJECTS — ONE PDF PER JOB Save any calculation to a project as you work through a job. When you're done, export a single combined PDF covering every calculation — no more juggling separate exports for one job. Need to hand off a number without your phone? Generate a QR code with a plain-text summary anyone can scan. BUILT FOR THE FIELD • Fraction or decimal input — whichever you actually use • One-tap PDF export to share a result with your foreman or crew • Flashlight and digital level, built in — one less app to carry • Works completely offline — every calculation runs on your device PRIVACY, DONE RIGHT No data collected. No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Full stop. BendCraft Pro is an independent tool for electricians. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Greenlee, Klein Tools, Ideal Industries, or the NFPA. All calculations are estimates — always verify against your bender's markings and NEC 2026 (NFPA 70) before cutting or installing.

Stand at the bender, enter two numbers, get the mark. BendMark gives you the distance from the end of the pipe to every bend mark, in sixteenths of an inch, so you can find it on your tape without converting anything. Works with no signal. Nothing is fetched. FIFTEEN BENDS • Offset, rolling offset and parallel offset, evenly spaced or measured pipe by pipe for a rack of mixed sizes • Matching offset and kick: the angle that lines up with a pipe already bent, by the gap between its marks or by its rise • 3-point and 4-point saddles • 90° stub-up, back-to-back 90° and kick with 90° • Kick, parallel kick and matching kick • Compound 90° around a round, square or rectangular obstruction • Offset to fit: finish at a known length, and it says what to cut • Segment bend, for a large radius in many shots • Concentric 90°, for a bank of pipes round one corner YOUR BENDER, YOUR NUMBERS Pick Klein, Ideal, Greenlee, a rigid and IMC head, or the Greenlee 555 electric. Not listed? Type in your own take-up, gain and radius for each size. Marks follow the head you are actually holding, which is where most cut-short mistakes start. ANY ANGLE 10, 22½, 30, 45 and 60 on the chips, or type any angle from 5° to 89°. Slide a finger across any field, or across the rule on the keypad, to trim it a sixteenth at a time with a click for each step. Choose the centreline radius method for exact marks, or the classic multiplier table; where the two disagree, the app shows you both rather than pretending. READ AN ANGLE OFF THE PIPE Lay the phone on a leg you have already bent and it reads the angle off gravity. Zero it on the flat leg first, so the floor counts as nothing. MARKS WHERE YOUR BENDER WANTS THEM A hand bender lines its arrow up with the mark. Powered benders and saddle notches want the centre of the bend instead. Switch once, and every screen follows. LEARN THE TRADE Six short pages for a break in the van: take-up and gain, shrink, centreline radius, the three marks on the shoe and what each is for, the order you bend in, and working safely. ONE STICK, EVERY BEND Lay several bends on one length, get every mark from the same end, the total shrink and the pipe you need. Read them back from the far end when the bender only reaches that side. Copy the lot into your notes, save the stick, bring it back tomorrow. STEP BY STEP AT THE BENDER Every bend comes with numbered instructions: where to measure, where the arrow goes, which way to roll the pipe, how to check it. The diagram points at the mark each step is talking about, so you never lose your place. TABLES IN YOUR POCKET Offset multipliers and shrink per inch. Take-up and gain for every size. Bender specs: travel and radius adjustment at every angle, and where to scribe your own shoe so it reads angles without a protractor. Sixteenths to decimals to millimetres. Outside diameters for EMT and rigid conduit. BUILT FOR THE SITE • Sixteenths, never decimals. A tape measure has no 12.625 on it. • Feet and inches, or millimetres if that is how your prints are drawn. • Big targets you can hit with gloves on. • Plain-words warnings when a bend cannot be made, and what to change. NO ACCOUNT, NO SERVER, NO ADS No sign-in, no subscription, no network. Pay once. That is the whole transaction.
