Good benders are hard to find, and well worth every penny they earn, not in costs of conduit, but in time. A good bender is worth ten "wire pullers." A good electrician is able to troubleshoot and repair anything from High Voltage down to troubleshooting at the component level....

Re: Who welds? Quote: Originally Posted by Volodyamyr Stopping and starting a weld bead is still something that's at time difficult for me, especially when welding vertically in the upward direction with stick welding.
