I was never a sparky. I just saw them do this on the job

A "hickey" is used for bending things, not just conduit. Let's not get hung up on technicalities.

Highly accurate manual bender!
Great for proto types, and low volume production for people who need accurate work. Simple to operate ratcheting system makes bending up to 1-3/4" Tube almost effortless. Ratchet disconnects for quick bends on smaller OD tubing. Great for tube, pipe, solids, square and more. Die sets are additional.

I tought these photos would fit nicely in this thread.

Give a guy some PVC glue and watch him go. I really like the plastic shut off valves. Cheap!!

Every area of the home he tried to do. This is his best work. You should see the siding.
Oh what the heck. Here is a photo. I took about 6 of just the siding. I got to meet the artist. He was just returning with a six pack.

The picture of the water tank may be a tougher call for a newer inspector. A expierenced inspector would catch imediately.

I caught this the 2nd time around.

Priceless Dave.

Just for info. They didn't bend the pipe. Soft copper comes in rolls, the size of the water heater. Unbending it is the biggest problem.

I was speaking of Jpope's picture. Yours will do either, or at least many models like that will.
