    Socket box sinker. (+ sds chasing chisel)

    Anyone use a socket box sinker ? I'm thinking the armed type. I've got 2 or 3 jobs lined up soon where I know I will be chopping out in brick. So I think now's the time to bite that particular bullet and lay out for one. ! Be grateful for any pointers Cheers.

    Cable Chasing

    Hi All A few question from the learner. Does cable have to be a certain depth in the wall? Does it have to be in trunk/conduit? Does it have to run only horizontal and vertical? (diagonal??) How do you fix the oval trunk to the wall before the plasterer does the finish. Thanks SKY

    channeling / chasing

    i was wondering what the difference is between a gouge and a channelling chisel (as seen in screwfix) for chasing walls (other than a gouge is about a fiver while the screwfix channelling chisel is about 25 quid), from what i can see the channelling chisel looks like it would work better (but...
