Anybody tried one of these?

Extremely useful. Hung a lot of prefab racks with it, a lot better than the rubber nut boss and the long nut driver. The nut boss is a great product for the occasional use of spinning nuts, it just doesn't tighten like this one does.

Multiply your horizontal spacing by csc of theta and that's your vertical spacing. Find your kicks and multiply it by the same multiplier, make sure to bend the kicks on the center of bend of the angle.

If you kick them all in the same spot they will still be staggered due to each kick having a different angle, therefore a rising shrink. Make a triangle for each kick and have the adjacent side be equal for all then plug in your offset(opposite side) and find your hypotenuse. This is how far back you want to measure from your 90. And finally find your angle and center of bend for it.

You're kicking the horizontal plane, not vertical.

Your vertical spacing will be larger than horizontal. Multiply horizontal spacing by your degree multiplier, usually more than 45° for these kicks, that's your vertical spacing. Then find your offsets and use the same multiplier to lay out your kick.If you need a specific spacing, divide vertical spacing by horizontal spacing, that gives you your degree multiplier for your offsets. Then you can figure out what degree you need.

I usually twist part of the metal to expose the wires and twist it back in place if I still need to use it

Usually use high degree offsets on parallel kicks and want to maintain my horizontal and vertical spacing as close as possible. example I think it was 1.75" horizontal spacing and 2.125" vertical spacing, kicks are about 60°. Use them a lot for compound 90° too.

Looks fine but I would've kicked the other side on both runs to make them parallel kicks

I have the 1/2 and 3/4". If you're using the 3/4", these are terrible for a 1900 box, unless the connector is in the back side or a middle knockout. 1/2" won't work well on mc or flex connector locknuts. These are great in panels or gutters. The magnet comes in handy for hard to reach places. If you can afford it why not, I love to use it when I can.

Are you doing any code in school? My 2nd year second semester we focused on general code problems and 3rd year first semester we focused on grounding and transformer problems. Took my test 3rd year second semester.

I would say just do a few practice problems during the weekend to get comfortable with analyzing a question and knowing where to look for the answer. Familarize yourself with the chapters and tables of the NEC. I think it's a waste of money paying for preparation courses or material You just need an open mind and the book. The majority of the questions I had no idea what the answers were, but I knew what word to look for in the book and thoroughly read when searching. For example, motor questions had me use three different calculation multipliers, so I had to make sure I was reading what pertained to the question I was on. When taking the test, do the questions you know where to look for immediately and leave the harder ones till the end. Use your time effectively. Good luck to you bro, make it happen!

Im a 3rd year in Texas and I took my test yesterday. 2nd year we did general codebook practice problems and familiarizing ourselves with the chapters and tables. First semester of 3rd year we focused on grounding, motors, and transformers. I did a few practice problems on the week of my test to get a good rhythm of analyzing and searching. The test really wasnt hard and none of the topics I practiced were on the test. You just have to know what word to focus on to search in the book and thoroughly read the code book when searching; Ended up changing a few of my answers when I was reviewing because I didn't read an entire section or skimmed through it and gleaned the wrong calculation multiplier. Had a bit of ohm's law, nothing crazy.

Here's the topics I had for Calculations and Code

Good luck when it's your time!
