I would think ( and its just a hunch) that the "risk of reaction" would be greatest when the fire cement was wet, but reduce greatly once it was it was dry?
My previous home had a wood burner so I've used it quite a bit in its correct capacity but would never have thought of using it instead of...
Would anyone who has had the slightest training/experience of electrics do such a thing? The guy is reckless/negligent to the point of endangering life and property and really does deserve to be prosecuted....
That's more or less what I am thinking, but thought it might cope drilling into a mortar course or into block..
Previous cottage had 18" stone walls so I ended up buying a cheap Silverline SDS for a few jobs that needed doing...

I 've just bought the 10.8v/12V version as "separates" for home use... Not used them in anger, but I'm very pleased with first impressions of quality ect...
With Bosch rebranding their 10.8V tools as 12V, there are a lot of bargains to be had at the moment. The combi drill (skin only) was £33...
