Hello my name is Christian and I am in the process of planning to make my own DIY light bar for my halides. I'm in need of a 3/4 inch pipe bender & I was wondering if anyone possibly had one available?
Here is a previous article I'm using as a reference

If someone does have one, could I pay you for a bend or two? I don't really want to go spend the $40.00 plus dollars @ Home Depot unless absolutely necessary, I'd rather throw some money your way and we both win. If it's a possibility then PM me and let me know how much & we can go from there.
Thanks.
Christian

Hate to admit it, but I bought one at HD, used it, then returned it the next day. I don't think I reduced the usable life of it (I was careful not to scratch or damage it).

Some HDs still have a rental department where you could probably get one.
I know the HD in National City has rentals.

I just used one of the pipe benders right in the middle of an isle in Home Depot.took some 3/4" wire conduit in 8 foot length and put a 90 deg bend in it as close to the end as possible and cut the height when I got home.What are they gonna do make you buy it.I mean you can't damage one putting two bends in conduit.Give it a shot.This is just a suggestion.i am not telling you to go and do it unless you feel comfortable but it is rediculous to buy one for two bend.takes like 30 seconds each.

My father works @ hd. He tells me they cut wood for him for free... they could probably do the same for bends. I could ask him if they could do a couple bends for you if you still need it... it's the hd in lg btw

They probably won't do it for you, unless you have a low cut shirt and some tight shorts. Just go there and use one. They are making money off the conduit, you are buying, plus no one there really cares.
