[Build] Conduit bender

[jim]

   In my view that's fine. Scott and Zedd prefer 
stranded for pulling through conduit, but i think 
solid has its advantages (when connecting to 
devices). 
   Got date/time info for taking and returning 
the bender? just post to the build list so we all 
know. 
   I buy electrical stuff from B&K on division 
between mission and valencia (under the freeway). 
   I avoid home depot because i've read that they 
give all of their money for political contributions 
to the Republican party, which i hope gets 
deprecated.
