Gardner Bender: Portable Cyclone® Bender

Introducing the innovative new Gardner Bender Portable Cyclone® powered conduit bender for bending 1/2" – 1" EMT, Rigid, IMC, and 1/2" – 3/4" PVC-Coated Rigid conduit, all on a single shoe! The bender uses a standard pipe threader as a power source, making it versatile and quick to set up with a common jobsite tool. It is compatible with most pipe threaders on the market. The Portable Cyclone® is designed with portability and ease of use in mind.

Weighing in at just 35 lbs (about 53 lbs with a pipe threader attached), this bender is easy to carry around on a jobsite or up and down stairs. The Portable Cyclone® is the perfect replacement for large and clunky mechanical benders that take up more room in a service van or truck. Because there is only one shoe for all sizes there are no additional spare parts to carry around and keep track of. The Portable Cyclone® is small and lightweight, making it easy to make bends in any location rather than having to run pre-bent conduit through a jobsite.

Reduce the risk of injury by removing the need to bend larger sizes of conduit using a hand bender or lugging around heavy equipment and conduit. Doing continuous bends with a traditional hand bender or mechanical bender would typically become tiring over time and make it more difficult to consistently bend to the correct angle. But using the Portable Cyclone® eliminates this problem.

Make work more efficient by saving time on the jobsite. The Portable Cyclone® is capable of bending 1” rigid conduit to 90° in about 10 seconds versus roughly 45 seconds with a traditional hand bender, or about 78% faster. This ends up being a substantial time savings on a jobsite; as much as tens of hours of time savings over the course of a year.

All this is available at a competitive price versus similar benders on the market. The Portable Cyclone® is first option for bending 1/2" to 1" conduit that doesn’t break your back or wallet.
