What I find most funny is that you would never ever in a million years see electricians working this fast on the job. 🤣
True story
LOL!
And if they are union they would work even slower
Not true, some service changes can get two guys trotting this pace all day
Very true .. especially when the boss says it’s time and material.. you make the job last
Not always true when needed I work very fast wed moved and reinstalled a whole 3phase mains board from on room to another including containment in 9h and have done a house in a day but I agree you can not work like this all the time you would be so tired.
Greg is just next level, the efficiency is off the charts!
Very good, but there is room for improvement. Maybe it's a rule, but why doesn't he have a belt for tape measure, marker, screw driver, and pliers. He keeps having to reach for stuff.
I just love to watch Greg work. He knows his work. Plans ahead and stays calm.
Right on!
This is better then Golf.🤣
LOL! Thanks!
hjjj
a million times better than golf
You said it brother 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Anythings better than golf 😂
I've been in the electrical trade for 20 years.
I love bending pipe.
I hate being watched.
I would screw up a stub 90 if someone was watching me.
This guy made it look easy.
And neat
Yep. He's cool, calm and collected! :)
Yup I agree. Don’t understand people criticizing. This dude just breezed through four saddles like nothing. In a timed competition I understand some imperfections. This guy made it look too easy. Wannabes behind their keyboards would take an entire day to do what this guy did in 25 min with a pile of wasted scrap pipe😆
@@JB-ud2gn Agreed, and I've bent EMT.
I get the part about being watched but this guy is the type that can zone in and get it done. A real master.
Greg is the type of electrician I always like to have on my jobs, thinks of the next few steps as he is working. More efficient and gets a nice product installed, I'd pay him top dollar for sure, get what you pay for.
Very true!
Grigs hands were working and his mind thinks the next steps
Someone taught him that, most important, it wasn't lost
Make an offer Jason😁
That is part of the purpose of this competition, competitive advertising.
I'n about to graduate my 5 year apprenticeship with the IBEW. I watched this performance early enough in my career to be influenced by it. Just came back to see how many things I picked up from Greg in a 20 minute video. It was a lot
I wish filming on the job wasn't so stigmatized. We could alll improve a lot by watching film.
Congrats brother 👍. I’m finished with 2nd year classes and will have 3 more years before I top out.
Congratulations!
Tip for apprentices, use a pencil or a silver sharpey marker on the conduit.
Good tips!
acetone works wonders
Bug spray "off" takes off marker like magic!
In the uk we call this the Am2..better competition would be plumbers vs electrician then when we beat them at there thing we would prove to be the king of the trade jungle
Just mark over it again with your sharpie and wipe with thumb. 😉
That looks perfect! Never seen pipe bent that fast and accurate before.
Yes, he's really talented!
He did that in 25 minutes! Those are skills to shoot for.
Yes it does it takes practice
I have been an electrician for 33 yrs now these guys all did a fine job GRATS!
I agree, thanks!
Just a fact that they have this kind of show brings me a hope that trade skills will live and strive in US. It is time to become independent from the rest of the world and get young generation to be involved in it.
Well said! Thanks!
the fact that everyone in the backround has one or no pipes on the wall shows how preparation is key
Yes, it sure is!
I'd set and watch this any day over a football game
Me too. I love it!
Less politics lol
In my opinion saddles like these are the hardest and i sometimes still struggle to make em look exactly the same next to each other... That greg guy is the real deal
Yes, he sure is!
I always hated making saddles. I could get by when I had to, but didn't do it enough to be an expert at it. Greg makes it look way easier than it is.
Seth is ready for a cocktail or have a fight with that tape measure.
You can tell Greg is a commercial electrician while Seth looks like he's never seen conduit. Get off your knees!😂
Greg is a beast.
Yes sir! And he makes it look easy too.
Conduit bending is truly an art, loved the class at my LU 890
I agree!
As an apprentice coming up I once worked for a guy that if it was 1/8th inch out then you were going to fix it, had to be perfect.
Learned a great deal from that man. Attention to detail mainly and how installing something that looks like art work can and will get you more contracts in the future.
Great points!
Yea right
Your work is your legacy.
@@TYMWLTL I agree, I have often signed my name on my work, only an electrician would ever find it
Conduit serves a mechanical/electrical purpose that is all. If you think the job has to win an art contest than that's overbearing nonsense. That guy teaching you may have been a narcissistic mountain of anxiety. Wasting material due to an 1/8" doesn't lead to good workmanship either.
Very satisfying to watch that man work- WOW
'Not perfect but pretty good' when they're that neat! This comment tells me Greg is a bit of a perfectionist at heart and is awesome at his job. Good to watch these videos from the uk, interesting to see the differences in how it's done!
Thanks Sam!
That Dude is Awesome and Takes Pride in his Work
Yep.
I love hard work. I could watch it all day.
Me too!
Another tip is sharpie will erase sharpie on conduit “Mark let it dry than Mark the same mark again and wipe with finger”
Thanks for the tip!
@@SparkyChannel i see what you did there
At first i was like why would anyone do this? $75,000 sounds like a good reason to give it a shot
Rather watch paint dry if you do this all day everyday you need to get a life.
@@osoriocorey Agreed and the faster you work the more work they give you. Don't be fooled by it being call a "profession". It gets painstakingly annoying after a few years! Once all the "HYPE" is over you realize you're still just another tool in the boss's pocket that can be replaced!
idk why i got recommended this but im here, and im gonna enjoy it.
Thanks for the visit!
I'd love to get in on some of these competitions.. I have a blast just watching
I hear that!
You sound like Scotty. I am imagining you waving your hands around when you are talking behind the camera. Do you fix cars, too. 😂
LOL! I do some auto electric.
Lol. Rev up your engines!
Honestly, was thinking about doing this when I get out the military. This really just sold it for me
IMO, electrical is the best trade. Best wishes!
I've had many apprentices throughout my career.
And military guys are hands down the best acclimated to pick up a trade.
I've never had a problem with work ethic either.
I've had more than my share of young kids who cant put their phones down. All set with that.
That being said good luck!
This is a cool competition. Great stuff
I agree!
Greg...professional grade.
Yep!
Perfect job,am actually learning how to bend. This is helping me
Excellent!
Top notch work and top notch commentator!!!
Thanks so much Mike!
@@SparkyChannel Very welcome! I wish they played stuff like this on tv. Exactly like this though. No fake drama and called as it is.
@@mikeznel6048 I love these competitions! I wanted to be out on the floor so bad but I was very happy to be filming. :)
Excellent demostration
Thanks Freddy!
Greg is a beast man 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yep!
This is such a valuable production. It is definitely motivating.
I agree, thanks!
Scrolling youtube watching how to bend tube without a bender ... because I build bikes... how did I get to this and why am I still watching 🤣🤣
Welcome to Sparky Channel and I hope you enjoy the content! I love bikes and I subscribed to your channel!
Where can I check out some of your bikes
This was awesome to watch ............ looks like fun.
Wow! A lot of learn for me! Thank you very much!
Glad to hear that!
I just want to say..wow!
I hear that!
Nice and steady with a well thought out plan ahead of time seems to be faster than herky jerky movements
Yes, I agree!
IDEAL bender are the best ones.
The best thing about them for me, is that they have markings on both sides.
I'm lefty
They are true, and made in the USA too!
@@SparkyChannel
Are you guys in USA starting to get invaded with "made in china" products like piping,fittings and boxes??
Here in Canada it's starting to be a plague..
Very poorly made without any quality control..
Takes twice the time to install 😵
True pro bender
This is effin exhilarating
I think so too!
This is why we need ESPN 8 "The Ocho"
That's right!
Great planning and great execution you can get the job done fast without working fast
Very true! Greg sets a great example of how to work at pace without rushing.
Exactly. That's true with just about anything. You don't have to work fast or cut corners either.
Some very talented tradesmen
I agree!
Μπράβο παιδιά!! Ωραία ιδέα!!
Now for the next coMpetition, 12 4" rigid conduits in a 35' deep slosh pit of mud 1100' from switch yard to new MCC. CONDITIONS: monsoon to sunshine after lunch in south side Houston Tx... where the mosquitoes carry you away to their nest
Dont get me wrong... these guys would school me sideways
I do get the point. Conditions aren't always so great on the actual jobsites. 😊
So glad I left Htown! I'm a Lineman so we always work outside and Htown is absolutely brutal in the summer.
I think the narrator is gifted
I’m very impressed with how fast he works but definitely could see it be significantly more efficient! It hurts to see people not use the pass through method while bending pipe when you could do it standing up and never have to flip your bender around or do awkward bends. So much extra work being done. And you already know your 90’s are two inches farther apart so you could have just measured all those together to bend them at the same time then cut all together. Cut down on that back and forth between multiple tools. This is why efficiency is much better than speed. Main thing I teach apprentices to also help learn with looking ahead at next steps to come.
Thanks!
That was enjoyable to watch thanks for the video
No problem. I enjoyed filming it.
This is beautiful.
Agreed.
Not such why This showed up in my recommended, but can’t sleep and watched all of this for some reason.
Thanks for watching Sparky Channel!
If Greg worked for himself, took his own jobs, and consistent with the great work he does he would have no problem taking over an entire area!
Sounds right, thanks!
Excelencia y más los felicito y Dios los bendiga siempre y familia y amigos
¡Gracias!
I don’t know how I got here but I’m enjoying
Welcome!
Well I loved the way he didn't add the kick, he literally hand bent it, 3/4 emt is very versatile.
Agreed!
Love these competitions lol
Me too!
I’m surprised in a competition sponsored by an electrical tool company I didn’t see anyone using an actual pipe reamer
They also used marker. The point is it's not about preping it for wire or for the customer. No wire will be used. They r being tested on there bends
That’s great and formidable
Yes sir!
i did this today at work. It took me like 8 hours
At least you did it! :)
This man talks truth
You're fired
Are you a plumber?
8 hours our Foreman's and super expect 200 feet a day. If you can't keep that pace you get ditch duty
Great work!
Thanks Jason!
Awesome job🇺🇸😊
Ok let's go back to Greg 😂😂
Good show Greg
Yep!
When a guy quotes you 12hrs show him Greg at work lol 😂
Great idea!
This project would take me til first break lol
You can do it!
Press an aluminum slug into the 1/2 inch EMT bender handle then drill a 7/8+" hole offset flush with an inside edge. The hole is for tweaking using the handle. Slip on a left motorcycle grip to work as a grip and protection for finished or slippery floors.
Now back to the regularly scheduled bend off.
@22:25...
Called it...
A secondary bit of shallow strut support after the offset and closer to the corner 90s would relieve that waiver in the pipe and even out the geometry some more the fact that it was bent in the offset configuration inherently put an instability in that pipe because the run is not flush against the surface for the entire area that would normally touch in an ideal flush mount... that 90 is the axis of a lever and if you support that axis it'll stay there... regardless a little hand tweaking on the corner will smooth it out to the eyeball on any latent tension due to those less than perfect 90s...
Great work
Thank you! Cheers!
theyre literally the best of the best
I agree!
Excelente
¡Gracias!
I like how he keeps the sharpie in his mouth the whole time
Yep!
Looks good but I would get beat with a bender if I used a sharpie 🤣🤣
LOL!
This was solely for competition though and there’s plenty of things you could use that would take all the sharpie off in 10 seconds.
Thanks for sharing this video Sir.
Thanks Ramil!
Great job Greg great video bubba
Thanks 👍
My boy Seth 😭lol.
Stay up sparkies.
Greg is a beast
Smooth and cool 😎.
I agree!
@@SparkyChannel im trying to do it step by step 😎 i want to work like him, chill moves, not in a rush.
I think I found my new favorite youtube channel... :D Coffezilla sent me!
Thanks so much Wavy!
When i bend pipe i use a pencil to mark the pipe so after words I'll just clean the pencil marks and it looks cleaner and professional....that was a really good job from this thing man...love watching ure videos especially competition ones..
Thanks! See my playlist for all of my competition videos: IDEAL National Championship 2019 Competition Videos from Sparky Channel: th-cam.com/play/PLSD43kAzjUIRfq58lAqj2dXKhTY_8QaDO.html
you can clean the mark easily by alcohol. It's hard to write on the EMT pipe by pencil.
@@John.23 Good tip, thanks!
They should have had some things in there that provided a challenge like parallel rolling offsets and sweeping concentric 90s show true skill
Thanks!
Guys a beast
Yep.
awesome!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nice job
Thank you!
Really good work
I agree!
As a tile guy. Greg passes as a good electrician. Probably even sweeps up after his self 😁
Have a great day Mark!
Himself
Was great seeing Greg using a “Bosch” drill.
Sounds good, thanks!
I have had many Bosch tools that have served me well. I have some Bosch batteries pushing 10 years old that still perform well.
@@greganliker201 That’s great to hear. I have many Bosch tools as well and they work very well.
That guy killed it
He sure did!
That guy is hired hahaha
Yep!
Nice work.
Agreed!
Gracias from Santiago of Chile...👌..👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏......☝️......👷
Cheers from San Diego, California!
Gracias amigazo, desde Phoenix, Arizona, EE.UU.
Nice to meet you sir.
Same to you!
Damn Greg
I hear that! I don't know if you noticed but I have a video called "Sparky vs the Pros" where I tried to compete with Greg and I just couldn't keep up. LOL!
I'm a spark from Scotland its so interesting how different your installations are
Yes, I'm fascinated by how other countries do their electrical as well!
How would you do it in Scotland?
I did some power modules being shipped to Brazil and their code is completely different
More with wiring but I get it
I recognize those redwing boots - 100% made in USA! I wear my pair near every day B)
I love Redwing!
Nice technical edea sir..
James Jones is my bud !!!!
👍🏼😁👍🏼
See 25:50 . It's a great bunch of guys!
