I remember a few months back a long discussion of people looking for where to buy hickys (conduit benders). People were failing in lots of places which used to work.
Well ... recently, I was in "Home Despot" getting some electrical fixtures (outlets, boxes, etc) and noticed at the end of the asile where the wire and conduit type fittings were, a display of three sizes of hickys -- 1/2", 3/4" and 1".
So -- they *are* out there, and not in a particularly esoteric place.
Enjoy, DoN.
