Metal workshops have many types of equipment used to bend and shape metal or other rigid material. One piece of equipment that does this is a Greenlee Textron bender. The Greenlee Deluxe Electrical Bender, also called a 555, is an electrical conduit bender offered with a vast array of available attachments. It plugs into a standard wall outlet. A common problem experienced with a Greenlee-Textron-brand electric bender is motor function failure when using the bend switch or the unload switch.
