Gardner Bender
Gardner Bender 962 Conduit Bender Head
Bends 1-inch EMT and 3/4-inch Rigid/IMC conduit with a heat-treated aluminum head and 5 13/16-inch centerline radius
- Heat-treated aluminium resists corrosion for long service life
- 5 13/16 in. centreline radius suits EMT and Rigid/IMC conduit
- Foot-pedal operation gives precise hands-free bending control
- Model 962 designed specifically for 1 in. EMT and 3/4 in. Rigid/IMC
- Lightweight head reduces fatigue during repeated conduit bending
Conduit Bender for EMT and Rigid/IMC
The Gardner Bender 962 is a hand-operated conduit bender head designed for electricians shaping electrical raceways. Its heat-treated aluminium body resists corrosion and withstands repeated jobsite use. A built-in foot pedal gives the user leverage and control during each bend. This tool handles 1 inch EMT and 3/4 inch Rigid or IMC conduit.
Suited for electricians bending EMT or Rigid conduit
The 962 fits professionals who need a portable, manually powered bender for standard conduit sizes. Its centreline radius of 5 13/16 in. produces the sweep required by common electrical codes. Contractors who work with larger diameters or who require hydraulic or powered bending for high-volume production should look at other equipment.
Centreline bend radius of 5 13/16 inches
This single measurement determines whether the bender meets the minimum radius required for your conduit size and installation standard. If the project calls for a different radius or a larger conduit diameter, this head will not produce a compliant bend. Verify the specification against your plans before purchasing.

Questions about this item
How much force does the 962 bender head require when bending conduit all day?
The 962 uses a foot pedal so you apply force with your leg, reducing arm fatigue during extended bending sessions.
What handle length must I already own to use the 962 head?
The 962 head fits standard 1-inch EMT handles, typically a 3/4-inch rigid conduit handle about four feet long.
Will the 962 head bend the 13/16-inch radius conduit I already have?
The 962 produces a fixed centerline radius of 5 13/16 inches, so it only matches conduit requiring that exact radius.
