Jack Keeps it Simple!, Jun 14 2002
By Anthony Ferguson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Benfield Conduit Bending Manual (Spiral-bound)
In the complicated world of Job Training it is quite refreshing to see that "New and Improved" is not always Best. I was first introduced to the Jack Benfield EMT bender and his Benfield Conduit Bending Manual in 1979 when I first joined the IBEW, and I found the tool and the Manual to both be Superior.
Why? Because they are simple to use!!
Presently, I train Electrician Apprentices on a daily basis,
and I find so many of the other manuals unreasonably complicated in their approach to EMT bending methods, especially for Apprentices who have been in the Trade a short time. When I see
an Apprentice failing to grasp the modern (and complicated) approach, I rely on the Benfield Manual and Jack's easy and amusing approach to developing skill in the Electricians Trade.
Todays Journeyman Level Electrician can also benefit from having a copy of this book. Highly Recomended!

Relatively short,concise and easy to understand.If you need to get another book on conduit bending after reading this one you might as well give it up!

Good basic bending manual, but incomplete, Feb 11 2000

A good book for general conduit bending, but woefully inadequate for professional concentric bending.
