To Really Move The Dial, Try Something New
By Bill Floyd

Selling and Marketing can be exciting. But it also can be repetitive and leave you stuck in a rut - same ‘ol calls, saying the same ‘ol things to the same ‘ol people. In the movie LA Story, Steve Martin played the part of a weatherman in Los Angeles. After he realized the weather in that part of the country rarely changed and that he was saying the same thing every day, he filmed himself and mailed it in. Nobody really noticed because he had just become white noise anyway.

The Art and Science of Conduit Bending
Steve Maurer, IME

Maybe "art" is a bit of a stretch. But conduit bending has definitely become a science. Back when I first started, a hand bender was my primary tool. Actually, it was the only tool I had to form sweeps, offsets and saddle bends on smaller conduits.

For larger pipes or large projects, ratchet benders ensured a smooth, accurate bend radius. Ratchets also guaranteed a more consistent layout than hand benders, even on small diameter conduits.
