That does sound a bit rough, and offensive in the way that misuse of a tool is.
I can't justify a deburring tool - I would have thought you could, but if not what's wrong with a rat tail or half round file?
It is the way we were taught as apprentices, it is only to wipe the burr off the inside of the end of the pipe after threading.
I don't know if a normal de-burring tool will work with seamed pipe? A pipe de-burrer may work better such as this: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/deburring-tools/2063479/
A file doesn't work very well owing to the restricted space, you get a better angle with pliers.

A pipe reamer is what you want but pliers or side cutters do the job just fine.

But that's not the point.
Because it's the misuse of a tool, and therefore offensive.
And an indication of inadequate training, incompetance and generally being slapdash. And the tool you need is a ½" round bastard file, thats what electricians use.
Edit, A bastard file is one who's mummy and daddy were not married.
As long as it's deburred why on earth would it mater how that's achieved? There are loads of things in electrical contracting where different sparks have different ways of doing things.
I strip pyro with a joistripper. Others use a wheel and hook cutter, some use a tee bar, and some use side cutters. They all work, and for me to call the other methods wrong because that's not how I do it would seem a little silly.

What's wrong with pulling the lever upwards?
I normally go downwards, but if the ground gets in the way, I turn it around.
I've worked with plumbers that always go up.
Not sure how how you bend a 3.75m length of conduit it the middle without going upwards
I'm getting 'know it all career change 'electrician'' vibes here

You get up on a small scaffolding tower, of course.Not sure how how you bend a 3.75m length of conduit it the middle without going upwards
Can't believe you didn't know that.
You'd probably end up with scaffold tower without handrails and the bender which can weigh around 30kg dangling over the edge and a worker on the wrong side of the handrail
After all that you may find the foot of the bender gets in the way.
