Commonly referred to as a conduit bender, but seen on the shelf as a hand & foot conduit bender, this tool comes in very handy in many situations on project sites where runs are switched or there's not room for a bending machine. "Rugged hand-and-foot benders use manual strength and leverage to create a range of bends in pipe and conduit, including stub bends, back-to-back bends, offset bends, and three-point saddle bends. They consist of a head and a long handle and can be used with the head on the ground or in the air. They are well suited for light duty and occasional tasks and are commonly used for bending pipe and conduit in electrical applications."
