hi im writing my santa list and as you know im building up my tools for jobs.

any of you guys no any great bargins out there at moment, i am after a wall chaser and a good sds hammer drill. please take into account i only work myself or normally with one other guy.

screw fix have erbauuu wall chaser on at £100 quid, and there is a bosch 2kg hammer drill on also £100 quid. argos also have 1200w hammer drill at £64 quid which have great reviews.


any others or any comments or expierience with these items appreciated

ps , i dont be chasing and chunking at brick every week even.

The Erbaeur chaser is excellent, but needs to be connected to a good hoover, otherwise the room is soon filled with a dust cloud. I've got a wet and dry from Wickes, and find it excellent, dump the bags it is supplied with and get the 'optional' washable filter.

I wouldnt bother with any kit from Argos - there is a reason they are cheap. Rather than a normal 'hammer' drill, I'd recommend a SDS drill, along with a normal drill/driver. Ive got the Dewalt 18v SDS drill, and it does all I ever need. Corded is not really a good idea for many places - up a ladder drilling a fan core hole, I wouldnt want a trailing lead wrapped around my leg.

I bought a wall chaser from makro for £9.99. Its spot on and has paid for itself over and over and still going strong a year down the line. I dont do loads of chasing but didnt want to spend too much on something that often sits unused.

i bought one from lidl a year a go and it is broc and time consuming to get it level. thank you in my wishlist while i compare . 30ft would require you keep moving it tho. but self leveling is only way.

id rather spend £250 on loads of tools,daft thing is i remake at most 2 ends every 6 month..:crazy: but when people say you should have pyro gear just incase,i couldnt condone spending that much on gear most people dont use..unless its on the company account..:shades_smile:

Seems they have ditched that particular model, it was probably was too well made and they weren't getting enough repeat custom

Anyway, the replacement does not have any customer feedback as yet, but the price seems almost too good to be true.. £31.99

Laser levels don't necessarily (depends on model) need a perfectly flat surface anymore mate, although some of the earlier models did I know
