Dustin talks to Jack from Milwaukee Tool about how a rough prototype tested on a busy jobsite turned into the M18 Conduit Bender, a tool built to cut scrap, speed training, and keep bends consistent across the crew.

Jack explains how their team shadows real jobs, takes blunt feedback, and shapes designs around actual site conditions. He walks through why the bender stays compact, how features like angle lock and bend memory save time, and what they learned from watching crews push it to the limit. Dustin adds the installer’s view on training new hands, handling aerial kicks, and why repeatable results matter most when the whole crew relies on the same bend.
