hiya, just wondering, for those who do mostly domestic work, have you invested in a a powered wall chaser like these here

Wall Chasers, Wall Chasers, Wall Chaser Blades

I hate them Luke, lots of dust. I use a Bosch SDS multi drill on chisel function myself.

I have used them a few times and think they are great, if you are worried about dust just connect your hoover to them, fast neat and clean, Also nice clean lines for plastering

Try a 'Sparky' wall chaser from Screwfix. I have two 125mm ones on the go. They are not too dear either BUT they are German so made very well. The wall chaser is a must BUT ONLY if you have a good extractor. Look at Bosch Gas25 Or Gas50, they have a vibrating filter which stops clogging. Numatics 'Henry' also works but get re-usable bags not paper ones. The 'Henry' is considerably cheaper also.
If you want the best though, its the Hilti DCSE-20. Big Big Bucks new though.

I dislike SF - never buy anything from em personally. Better deals at the wholesalers IMO

Hi,
I'll use a chaser on a new build site,e.g. extension etc., because of the dust otherwise it's Bosch SDS and chisel. Keeps the customer a lot happier I've found.

Keep your fins wet and your air dry.

Surely though if you use the dust extraction properly it is ok?
