Wall Chasers

[davel81]

Hi
I am in the market for a wall chaser. Recently started out on my own, so finaces are limited!!! Could anybody recommend or otherwise anything on the market.

I'm in the market for a decent chaser too mate. If you search I'm sure there are a couple of threads about it already.

Definitely don't go for the cheapest you can find (no "Titan" tools from Screwfix or the like for this one!) I've seen a couple out there from top brands (Bosch blue, Sparky etc) but have yet to make my choice.

Why not Titan?

I have my house to wire in a month or so and need something to chase the walls with.

After all I will probably not use it again... So a 1500w sds should do the job shouldn't it?

Deleted to hide the evidence of my stupidity!

I thought you'd just started out? Or did you just say that to justify being on the electricians forum?

The thread was started by Davel81. I assume Stukk1 is also looking for similar advice.

I got a Hilti off ebay, virtually brand new for £250 I think it was. It paid for itsself on the first job.

Had an Euraber from Screwfix which broke after a year. Now have a Sparky ( for 2 years ) and still going strong. Use a Henry for dust extraction which works well.

 

[davel81]

Will the Hilti take any dust extractor?

With duct tape, anything is possible ;-)
