I love this tool!

[Vortigern]

So did a kitchen worth of chases today with the Erbauer. Fine, nothing too great or bad. Very little dust with the hoover. Have nothing really to compare it with experience wise. However it is clearly a boon in that it was fast and nice clean straight cuts. Had one wall in solid concrete which it did, but slowly. They guy with me found it difficult to use. But he is a bit cack-handed with tools and didn't "get" how to stand properly, overreaching etc. It is a drag motion. Used it to criss-cross the box cut-outs which worked out well. The trainee kept complaining it was hard to know where he was cutting, especially dragging it. I did not have that problem. It has a notch so you know where the blade is, I managed to guide it to exactly where I wanted it. So for the price I am happy with it, saved a lot of work and dust and get a neater job.

My Metabo is a drag it job rather than push. I have the older model though.

Try it both ways @happyhippydad and see which works best. Loving you just smashing chases into your house for fun I must admit!!!

I can see that the chase has a purpose HHD , it's to get rid of that surface trunking between the sockets ?

Quite right Dave. The trunking doesn’t bother me but I was going to have a practise with it anyway, so I thought may as well do it somewhere useful.

Hadn't spotted that trunking and thought you were tearing up walls for no reason other than practice with the new chaser *facepalmsmiley*

being Scottish. you need to use your own. save it and then root through it for the odd 5p.

That reminds me of the recipe for Scottish Omlettes... it starts off "Borrow 2 eggs...."

And the Scottish window cleaner at the top of a triple extending ladder that dropped 50p .... it hit him on the head on the way down

i have a twin blade chaser £29.99 from Aldi. coupled via a home-made adadaptor (made from a bit if 1" 1/4 waste pipe) to my Henry ( bought 12 years ago from a car boot for £2), hardly any dust at all. just need to remember to switch Henry on first.

Corded i take it ? Mist keep a eye out for it
