Gardner Bender 961 Big Ben Hand Bender Head, 3/4-In. EMT Conduit

The Gardner Bender 961 Big Ben Hand Bender Head is a professional-grade tool designed for shaping 3/4-inch EMT (electrical metallic tubing) and 1/2-inch rigid conduit. This aluminum bender head delivers precise, consistent bends for electrical installations. The lightweight construction reduces fatigue during extended use, while the engineered design ensures accurate bends that meet code requirements and minimize rework on the job site.

As a bender head only (handle sold separately), this tool integrates seamlessly with Gardner Bender handles or compatible systems. It solves the common challenges electricians and contractors face: inconsistent bend angles, difficulty measuring bends in tight spaces or overhead, and tool wear from heavy job-site use. The Big Ben's proven design has become the go-to choice for professionals who demand reliability and precision.
