Ok then lads, who uses what tools to carry out the wall chasing we all know and love....:63:
 
With out a doubt the Hilti twin diamond blade wall chaser with the dust extractor is the best chasing tool I have ever used, expensive but wipes the floor with any off the other wall chasers I have used, mine got nicked along with my van, actually phoned hss hire today to enquire about one, ÂŁ110 a day, even dick Turpin wore a mask
 
Hilti double disc SE20 stuck to a hoover. With decent blades it goes like a hot knife through butter, even in our Guernsey concrete blocks made of granite chippings! Adjustable width and depth makes it easy, and whack the bits out with an SDS chisel bit.

Theres usually a few on ebay for about 3-400 (second hand obv) That will be my next purchase I recon and a decent big Hoover. Might be worth thinking about if u intend to hire one for more than a few days.

Hammer and chisel?! Is this the 1920's? They've invented power tools now to do the job in a fraction of the time. To cut and knock out a socket-to-ceiling chase with an SE20 and sds chisel I can do one in two or three minutes. How long would it take standing there going tap tap tap tap tap tap (god my arm aches) tap tap tap on a chisel? Ages. If you refuse to use power chasers, do you also ignore powered vans and walk to the wholesalers with a wheelbarrow? ;)

well if all you can manage is `tap tap tap`.....then i sympathise with you...
when i chase out its `bang bang bang`......
dint take me long fella.....i guarentee it....
 
It must be nice working in brick houses, here in Guernsey we have to chase through concrete made of granite, or in older houses solid granite. Buggers up your chisel points something chronic!
