    Abstract: A portable powered conduit bender comprises a housing including a gripping handle. A battery powered drive in the housing has a drive gear. A conduit guide is secured to the housing. A bracket is secured to the housing defining a pivot connection. A head is pivotally connected to the bracket at the pivot connection. The head comprises a shoe defining a downwardly opening arcuate channel selectively positionable proximate the guide. A hook is proximate one end of the shoe for engaging a conduit received in the channel. A driven gear operatively engages the drive gear to controllably pivot the head.
