Lift conduit bender handle

Abstract

A lift conduit bender handle for use with a conduit bender for bending a workpiece is disclosed. The lift conduit bender handle includes a bracket having two plates in quadrant configuration facing each other. Each plate includes holes. Further, the lift conduit bender handle inserts through the bracket and connects to the holes with the help of handrails while being positioned at a desired angle. The handle further includes a handle bracket. The handle bracket includes a set screw for tightening the handle. The handle connects to a bender head of a conduit bender. The bender head includes a conduit-receiving groove for receiving a workpiece or conduit or pipe. The lift conduit bender handle applies force on the workpiece around the bender head such that the workpiece gets sandwiched and the workpiece is forced to take the shape of the conduit-receiving groove.
