You can bend conduit with an inexpensive tool. Conduit is much
lighter and cheaper than pipe.

I've never seen rigid bent, only light & intermediate. Rigid is heavy &
threaded. It uses preformed sweeps & boxes to make turns. AFAIK

Only if you dont have a pipe bender for rigid. I have several
differnet types of hand benders for rigid.


Rigid is fun to bend. You definately need more thean a three foot
handle on the bender. Have you ever used rigid aluminum conduit?
