To hire one @ £60 a week .....I think I'd buy one on ebay TBH. I've used ours for PVC conduit in the past , best when warm but better than over the knee and saves buying fittings.
Anyone got a conduit bender for sale?

I think that may be some sort of dream you had as a teenager M8 :innocent
I can tell you that PVC conduit in direct sunlight doesn't stand up well , you need to to treble up on the saddles . You really need to check out how long the sun is on that particular area .
I replaced some floods I fitted with LED , looked at our conduit and the one section just drooped between saddles , awful, we'd skimped on the very last length . But being true professionals we replaced it while we were there .

Seriously, I was taught at college to rub a piece of nylon cloth up and down PVC conduit before bending. It works too. The lecturer joked it enabled you to get away with another birds knickers in the glove box!

There's a seller on eBay in Edenbridge selling a few now. <10 miles from me. As for postage...Christ knows...this ain't no guitar!
How much does a bender weigh?
Just put in 25kg on parcel2go and it came back £16.50 For 3 day service with Hermes.
At least it won't break when they Chuck it over your fence! :slap

TEF relay? I could get it as far as Brighton without going too far out of my way.
Is the eBay seller's £35 p&p that bad on the face of it?

I picked a parcel up in similar circumstances for a lad on another site . It was 26 kilos to deliver to Scotland .
He got it collected from me and delivered to him next day for the price you say.

Monkey theres a set on ebay for £18.99 they look like rusty old carp b ut they're the sort you want . Reason is they have long handles which are probably conduit like my antique set , if you're threading 25m those sets that everyone seems to have are short and make hard work .

He has really long, knuckle dragging arms...
I think that Edenbridge seller has dropped his prices to £40/50 depending on condition. Plus £35 delivery still.
I bought one @roys and then upon arriving home with it in the back of my van saw that the guy that @Onoff mentioned was selling lots for a few quid less......always the way innit
Ill take a look at those Deke, thanks
