## Description

Master Bender Gold is the industry's leading conduit bending calculator for electricians on iPhone and iPad. It removes the math from bending and provides precise offsets, saddle bends, stub 90s, parallel bends, segment bends, and compound 90-degree bends, so you can focus on the task at hand.

The app supports a wide range of bending tools—from hand benders to electric and hydraulic models—and can adapt to any tool by entering your bending radius. It works with feet/inches and metric measurements and includes reference data on gain & take-up, conduit layout, weight & sizes, trig functions, fractions, bender methods, and safety. Master Bender Gold also integrates with Master Electrician Reference for deeper conduit-bending resources.

## Review summary

Overall, reviews indicate Master Bend Gold is seen as a useful concept for conduit bending but is hampered by usability and feature gaps. Many users describe the UI as overly complex and time-consuming, with inputting measurements and offsets being tedious. Several reviewers note missing essential measurement methods (distance/offset calculations) and some report instability or inability to change dimensions. A minority praise its teaching value and describe it as more than a calculator, suitable for apprentices, but the general sentiment calls for usability and feature improvements.

### Pros

- Provides guidance beyond a calculator, acting as a complete bending guide.
- Helps explain bending concepts to apprentices.
- Some users find it easy to use with step-by-step instructions.

### Cons

- Too complicated and confusing UI; navigation is slow and difficult.
- Measurement input is tedious; adjusting with increments is annoying.
- Lacks essential measurement methods like offset/distance measurement; users request these features.
- Some reports of instability or the app not working or unable to change dimensions.
